Change of tissue temperature of the uterine cervix during double freezing.
The tissue temperature of the uterine cervix was measured at a distance of 5 mm from the cryoprobe by using the double-phase freezing technique. It was established that by this method a deeper cold effect and tissue necrosis can be achieved than by one-phase freezing. In view of the linear extension and the extension in depth of CIN, as well as of its fairly frequent localization in the transformational zone, the method is mainly suitable for curing minor CIN lesions of young patients.
