A new concept for cryosurgery control is presented in this paper, a concept which has the potential to dramatically change the outcome of cryosurgery. Unlike other cryosurgery control techniques, which are based on controlling the thermal performance of the cryoprobe, this new concept is based on heating the treated tissue as a means of shaping the frozen region. The new controlling heater is t...

Background: Cryosurgery is typically used for tumors or precancerous lesions found on your skin. However, some tumors inside the body can be treated this way as well. Advances in cryosurgery technology have dramatically reduced the long-term side effects once associated with the treatment. So this technology must made aware among dentists for the wellness among the patients. Aim: The aim of thi...

Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive treatment that utilize extreme low temperatures to destroy abnormal tissues. The clinical monitoring methods for cryosurgery are almost based on the visualization of the iceball. However, for a normal cryosurgery process, the effective killing region is always smaller than the iceball. As a result, the end of the cryosurgery process can only be judged by the ...

Pancreatic cancer (PC), one of the most lethal malignancies, accounts for 8% to 10% of digestive system cancers, and the incidence is increasing. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have been the main treatment methods but are not very effective. Cryosurgery was first used in 1984 for treatment of locally advanced PC and has since become a considerable treatment for most cases of unresectab...

BACKGROUND Cryosurgery is an effective treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, but it often causes pain and cramping. Both paracervical and mucosal blocks have been shown to provide relief from the pain and cramping associated with cryosurgery. The purpose of this article is to recommend the use of mucosal block, paracervical block, or no block on the basis of which procedure minimize...

INTRODUCTION Cryosurgery is an alternative treatment for many benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions of the skin. AIM To review the indications of cryosurgery for cutaneous lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS The retrospective study was based on the assessment of medical records of 1031 dermatology patients who had cryosurgery. RESULTS One thousand two hundred and forty-four sessions of cr...

Aims: To present the case of a recurrent lymphangioma in the oral buccal mucosa and briefly discuss the treatment options of the condition. Method: The lesion was surgically ablated; nevertheless, it recurred two months following surgery. The recurrent lymphangioma was then treated very successfully with cryosurgery. Result: The patient has now remained asymptomatic for more than 12 months and ...

BACKGROUND No long-term randomized controlled clinical trial has compared the efficacy of cryosurgery alone vs cryosurgery following fluorouracil applications for the treatment of actinic keratosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the 6-month outcome of a 1-week course of 0.5% fluorouracil followed by cryosurgery. DESIGN Prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical...

BACKGROUND Cryosurgery has been used to treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and it has many technical advantages over other methods. It is therefore important to establish its efficacy as a treatment for BCC. OBJECTIVE To review systematically the body of literature reporting on the efficacy of cryosurgery of BCC in terms of recurrence rates and cosmetic results. METHODS A review is given of ...
