Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery treatment in Sarjapur Road
Cryosurgery treatment in Sarjapur Road is a medical procedure in which tissue is destroyed by freezing it. The procedure is also called cryotherapy or cryoablation. Cryosurgery can be performed using a variety of tools, including a cryoprobe, which is a metal rod that is cooled to a very low temperature, or a liquid nitrogen spray. The tissue is frozen for a short period of time, typically between one and three minutes.
Why is the procedure performed?
Cryosurgery is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including,
• Skin conditions, such as warts, skin tags, and moles
• Benign tumours, such as uterine fibroids
• Precancerous lesions, such as actinic keratoses
• Cancerous tumours, such as liver cancer and breast cancer
