title: [Removal of hemorrhoids by cryosurgery].
abstract: The removal of hemorrhoids by cryosurgery may be carried out in a radical way even in the case of patients suffering serious concomitant illnesses. It is also possible to treat large hemorrhoids by this technique. The after-effects are proportionate to the surface treated. A thorough knowledge of surgical techniques and cryosurgical apparatus is vital if serious complications and recurrences are to be avoided.
