I think it is electrosurgical though, instead of electrical or electrocautery. But it doesn\'t matter really, for you can leave LEEP untranslated.

agree  msm-language (X): Puede quedar LEEP simplemente.
17 mins
  -> that is an option as well. Thank you!

agree  Edward L. Crosby III: OK, but not "by method of LEEP". That's not 100% native English. Correct English would be "using the LEEP method" or similar.

  -> just "using Leep" is fine too. thank you, Edward
