title: Cryosurgical methods for eyelid lesions.
abstract: Treatment of benign skin lesions commands a high demand for cosmetic outcome. Among the alternatives for the treatment of benign lesions, cryosurgery has many advantages: it is a safe office-based method, the predictable outcome is cosmetically good and the cost of treatment is relatively low compared with operative surgery or laser techniques for example. The controllability and the tissue selectivity of cryosurgery allow its use in and around the eyelids.
