A standardized simulation training program to type 1 loop electrosurgical excision of the transformation zone: a prospective observational study.

Low-fidelity simulation training seems to be an effective method for learning the accurate cone length for a type 1 excision for novice surgeons. As excessive excisions are related with high risk for premature delivery in subsequent pregnancies, in our opinion, LEEP should be practiced in simulation training, especially before performing in woman of reproductive age.
