A cohort of women, having undergone an excisional procedure for high‐grade cervical dysplasia, was studied to identify those patients who developed recurrent high‐grade cervical dysplasia post‐treatment. We have confirmed that recurrent histologically confirmed high‐grade cervical dysplasia is uncommon after complete excision and appears not to occur within the first 6 months post‐treatment. Post‐treatment surveillance protocols should incorporate these findings.
