title: Progress in cryosurgery.
abstract: The Workshop on Cryosurgery at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Society for Cryobiology contained a diversity of papers which fairly represented the present state of cryosurgery in medical practice and which identified directions for future research. Emphasis was clearly on the development of visceral cryosurgery, which appears likely to become of increased clinical importance as a result of combination with ultrasound imaging techniques. This report reviews in brief the important new developments in cryosurgery and focuses on those presentations which were of special interest from the viewpoint of research in cryosurgery.
