Efficacy and safety are comparable and outpatient LEEP may save time and cost in the Australian setting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>We aim to compare patient satisfaction with inpatient LEEP compared to outpatient LEEP for Australian best practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a prospective quantitative and qualitative cohort study. An online questionnaire was sent to patients undergoing inpatient and outpatient LEEP to assess satisfaction with the procedure. Further histopathological and demographic data were also collected from the medical records. Groups were compared using Fischer's exact test and pain scores were compared using non\u2010parametric tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ninety\u2010three outpatients and 52 inpatients responded to the survey. No difference was found between groups with regard to rate of positive histopathological margins or number of passes required. Outpatients found the procedure to be more convenient than inpatients (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.007), and experienced more pain during the procedure than the inpatient group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.001). There was no significant difference in pain scores following the procedure or post\u2010procedure anxiety.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Outpatient LEEP is an acceptable and well\u2010tolerated procedure, comparable to inpatient LEEP. Regardless of the option chosen, patients are highly likely to be satisfied with their choice. Increased efforts should be made to reduce pre\u2010procedural anxiety, which may in turn reduce expectations and experiences of pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajo.13556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,28]],"date-time":"2022-06-28T08:15:14Z","timestamp":1656404114000},"page":"720-724","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Patient expectations and experiences with loop electrosurgical excision procedure in inpatient and outpatient settings"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3347-964X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Ooi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Prince Alfred Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary Anne","family":"Eskaroos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selvan","family":"Pather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Chris O'Brien Lifehouse  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Carter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Chris O'Brien Lifehouse  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5165-2461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samir","family":"Saidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Chris O'Brien Lifehouse  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,28]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Australia C.Cervical Cancer in Australia.
