Cryosurgery is the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. Cryosurgery is used to treat a number of diseases and disorders, especially skin conditions.
Warts, moles, skin tags, solar keratoses, and small skin cancers are candidates for cryosurgical treatment. Some internal disorders are also treated with cryosurgery, including liver cancer, prostate cancer, and cervical disorders. Although found to be effective, this method of treatment is only appropriate for use against localized diseases with no metastasis.
Cryosurgery works by taking advantage of the destructive force of freezing temperatures on cells. At low temperatures, ice crystals form inside the cells, which can tear them apart. More damage occurs when blood vessels supplying the diseased tissue freeze.
