title: [Advantages of cryosurgical treatment of malignant skin transformations in the region of the nose and auricle (author's transl)].
abstract: Since the beginning of 1974 70 basal cell carcinomas of the face were treated by cryosurgery at the ENT clinic in Göttingen. The cryosurgical removal of basalomas on a cartilagenous base (nose, auricle) avoids hospitalization of the patient and relieves the surgeon of a time-consuming plastic operation. Scar formation after cryonecrosis is, in general, excellent and cosmetically unobtrusive. All patients must undergo strict follow-up examinations since for the surgeon there is no histologic safeguarding by an "excision into healthy tissue".
