The Accuracy of Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone Specimen Dimensions in Determining Volume: A Multicentric Prospective Observational Study

Abstract: The hemiellipsoid formula is the most accurate determinant of the excised volume. Other formulas do not allow for an accurate estimation of the excised volume.

“…The volume was estimated according to the formula proposed by Carcopino (7) the circumference corresponds to the external circumference of the cone, the length represents the distance from the external/distal margin to the internal/proximal margin of the open sample and the thickness was defined as the distance from the stromal margin to the surface of the epithelium. The volume of the cone was calculated using the hemielipsoid formula :…”

“…Although volume formulas for several shapes have previously been used to measure cone volume, including the cone, the parallelepiped, and the frustum (truncated cone), the semi-ellipsoid is a more accurate depiction of the true curvature of the proximal side of the cone. 65 Furthermore, the Series semi-ellipsoid calculation only requires three dimensions that are measured routinely (anteroposterior dimension, transverse dimension, and length). Different formulas can be used based on clinical judgement if different cone shapes are present (appendix pp 7-8).…”
