| Summary: | This study aims to determine the effect of paiteling by placing a vaginal stump on the outcome of persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection after hysterectomy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). From January 2013 to December 2015, 125 patients were enrolled in the study. These patients were divided into groups, according to patient’s preference. There were 55 patients in the paiteling group, while there were 70 patients in the control group. At the end of the third and ninth month, Thinprep cytology test (TCT) and human papillomavirus (HPV) typing were reviewed to determine the changes in HR-HPV and its complications. The negative conversion rates of these two groups were observed. Patients in the control group were observed and followed up without treatment. At the third month after treatment, HPV negative rates were 83.64% and 34.29% in the paiteling group and control group, respectively (χ 2 = 30.444, P < 0.01). In the ninth month, the rate of HPV negative conversion was 90.91% in the paiteling group and 48.57% in the control group (χ 2 = 25.047, P < 0.01). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant, and patients in both groups had no obvious adverse reactions. Paiteling irrigation at the vaginal stump can accelerate the positive-to-negative conversion of HR-HPV infection after panhysterectomy.
