title: Cryotherapy during pregnancy.
abstract: Benign cervical alterations causing complaints in 44 pregnant women were cured by cryosurgery in all three trimesters of their pregnancy. Recovery resulted in 41 cases after a single and in three extensive chondylomatous changes, after two treatments. The painless out-patient treatment did not influence pregnancy and the course of delivery. Cryosurgery has advantages over traditional surgical interventions, or using chemical caustic agents and it can be applied throughout pregnancy.
