title: [Cryotherapy of benign and malignant processes].
abstract: Cryosurgery is a method using brisk cooling of the tissue well beneath the freezing point with subsequent destruction and removal of necrotic tissue. Recovery is by scarification or tissue regeneration. It is used in the treatment of benign and malignant diseases. At the surgical department of the hospital and polyclinic in Pelhrimov the authors used between April 1986 and July 1987 this method in 35 patients with inflammations of haemorrhoidal nodes, 10 patients with haemangiomas and warts, the results being favourable. The authors recommend acute treatment of haemorrhoids, as complaints recede rapidly. As to malignant diseases, the authors applied cryalization repeatedly in one patient with a tubulovilous adenoma and in seven patients with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. They indicate the method only as a palliative procedure in inoperable tumours of the rectum.
