Abstract:
Cryotherapy is the clinican use of cold, applied locally or generally through various methods, to lower the temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Clinicians often emphasis that patients apply ice for therapeutic purposes after physical injuries and various surgical procedures. This case report describes a case of Oral Lichen Planus being treated with cryosurgery in 52 years old female. Keywords: Cryosurgery, Cryoprobe, Re-epithelization.Keywords:

Haemangiomas of the oral cavity are common benign vascular tumours of infancy. Several treatment modalities are described for haemangiomas, including sclerotherapy, embolisation, laser surgery and cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is the application of varying extremes of low temperatures to destroy abnormal tissue. Since cryosurgery is effective, simple and easy to perform, it is used in the treatment of lesions in both medicine and dentistry. Cryosurgery provides many advantages such as easy operation, absence of intraoperative bleeding and low infection rate. In this case, the cryosurgical treatment of a young patient who suffered from multiple haemangiomas of the oral cavity that was refractory to medical treatment is presented.

Cryotherapy (or cryosurgery) is the technique of precise freezing and thawing of undesirable tissue resulting in cell death and regression. It is a highly effective technique available to the ophthalmologist for local control and eradication of various intra- and periocular tumors and can serve as an alternative or adjunct to other methods such as surgical excision or radiotherapy.

A new system designed for cryosurgery of liver metastases is described. The cryoprobe, which utilizes circulating liquid nitrogen and produces a spherical iceball around each metastasis, is controlled by operative ultrasound. There was nor mortality and all patients left hospital within 10 days. Cryotherapy produced an area of destruction within the liver substance which decreased in size by 6 weeks as shown on serial computed tomographic scanning.

Cryotherapy of the prostate represents a potential treatment for localized recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy. Current salvage cryotherapy of the prostate can result in undetectable serum PSA levels with low morbidity. Further refinements in technique and equipment may enhance cryosurgical results.

Eight cases of invasive cervical carcinoma detected after cryotherapy for presumably noninvasive cervical lesions are reported. Three of these patients died from their disease less than 2 years following definitive therapy. The potential dangers of a less-than-optimal work-up of patients prior to freezing are analyzed and discussed in detail. Possible explanations for failures of cryotherapy are discussed, and guidelines for prevention of failures are presented.

Given the improved therapeutic efficacy and acceptable side effect profile with current cryotechnology, we wish to better understand the attitudes of community urologists expressing interest in this treatment modality toward the adoption of cryotherapy in their practice.A retrospective survey was conducted with information gathered on 50 responding physicians who attended a cryosurgery workshop between February 2004 and September 2006. Specifics such as demographics and professional background, reasons for interest in cryosurgery, and the current status of cryosurgery in the physicians' practice were collected and analyzed using SPSS, version 14 (Chicago, IL).Of the responding 50 physicians who attended a cryotherapy training workshop, 33 (66%) had been in practice for >/= 15 years. The most frequently cited reasons for interest in cryosurgery were the intention to introduce cryosurgery into routine practice for treatment of primary (70%) and salvage (62%) prostate cancer and treatment of renal neoplasms (62%). Most physicians reported the learning curve to be short. Of the 22 (44%) physicians currently practicing cryotherapy, most are using the technique for treatment of primary prostate cancer and as a salvage procedure for radiorecurrent prostate cancer. Twenty-eight (56%) physicians reported that they were not practicing cryosurgery yet, mainly citing lack of patient interest/appropriate patients and/or a lack of institutional support.This study provides insight into the attitudes of community urologists to adopt cryotherapy into their practice following a training course. Although some surgeons successfully integrate cryotherapy into their practice, further efforts must be made to remove barriers to allow adoption of this technology in the community setting.
