The LEEP technique results in some thermal artifact in all specimens obtained due to the use of electricity which simultaneously cuts and cauterizes the lesion, but this does not generally interfere with [[pathology|pathological]] interpretation. Complications are less frequent in comparison to a [[cold knife conization]], but can include [[infection]] and [[hemorrhage]]. Damage to the cervical [[stroma]] may lead to [[cervical stenosis]] or [[cervical incompetence|incompetence]]. The LEEP does not appear to affect [[fertility]].
