[Cryosurgery of hemorrhoid disease].
The kriosurgery of hemorrhoidal diseases represents a modern method of treating hemorrhoids, a therapeutic application of low temperatures on the alive human tissue. The critical temperature for destroying tissues in -20 degrees C. If temperature is above this freezing it won't a pear. The author chose a series of 70 patients with hemorrhoids to be treated by kriohemorrhoidoctomy. As a means of refrigerating nitrogenous oxide was used while the operative intervention was made at an Outpatient Clinic. For internal hemorrhoids, freezing by kriosonda usually lasted from 1 to 3 minutes, while for the outer hemorrhoids freezing lasted more than 2 to 4 minutes. Postoperatively, 2 to 3 hours after freezing, the hemorrhoids swell and become red and a discharge appears which at the beginning is serosanguinolent but later it becomes purulent. The discharge lasts until 14 days, and then it gradually decreases. The final results after the kriosurgery of the hemorrhoids are anatomically equal to the results after the standard operative interventions, but the great priority of kriosurgery is that porbidity is reduced.
