Abstract

Introduction: Colposcopy examination remains the gold standard in assessment of the patients with abnormal cervical cytology.

This study was performed with the aim to investigate the role of ECC as a complementary method, besides colposcopic examination in patients with satisfactory colposcopy. Keywords: Satisfactory colposcopy, unsatisfactory colposcopy, endocervical curettage, abnormal cervical cytology.
