Abstract

|
The clinical experience with the use of cryocauterization for the primary treatment of chronic cervicitis in 34 patients at Seouf National University Hospital from Sep. 1972 through Jan. 1973 is reported. The patients have been observed over 12 weeks of period.Cryosurgery was performed by the use of carbon dioxide gas as the refrigerant which was delivered through a special cervical probe. The procedure was carried out in the out patient department without -analgesia or anesthesia. Cervical lesion has been treated at -b0°C for 3 minutes.Healing was documented to be complete in 91% of all patients within 12 weeks after treatment. Healing process has been complete through a similar fashion in majority of cases.
Significantly, the majority of patients experienced only mild discomfort during the freezing process. No serious complications have occurred and no patients have complained of systemic symptomatology.Cryocautery seems to be a rapid, safe, to-date and effective measures for the treatment of chronic cervicitis.
