title: Cryosurgery in the treatment of haemorrhoids in the elderly.
abstract: Cryosurgery was found valuable for the treatment of haemorrhoids in 26 patients aged over 60 years. The results are even better than in younger patients. In most cases local anaesthesia for the procedure is preferred to general anaesthesia.
