The Value of Cryoprobe-Assisted Removal of Orbital Tumors
1988
: Freezing a tumor and using a cryoprobe for removing a noninfiltrative space-occupying orbital lesion helps greatly in removal of a tumor. The cryoprobe minimizes the potential problem of tearing the capsule of the tumor, decreases bleeding at the time of removal of an hemangioma, and plays a role in removing tumors, either benign or malignant, after they have been biopsied. It is possible that freezing a tumor decreases the potential spilling of tumor cells into the orbit through the biopsy site and upon the delivery of the tumor itself.
