[Research of cryosurgery in the treatment of maxillo-facial deepish hemangioma].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of cryosurgery on maxillofacial deepish hemangioma, and the facial nerve recovery.


METHODS
Twelve hemangioma patients were observed for the effect of cryosurgery on hemangiomaa in maxillo-facial deepish expose lesion after flapping and four rabbits were used for the observation of the recovery of the facial nerve after cryosurgery.


RESULTS
The facial nerve function of rabbits recovered within six to eight weeks, the twelve hemangioma patients'-facial nerve also recovered with six to eight weeks, only one reoccured in five years.


CONCLUSIONS
Cryosurgery after flapping is an effective; little-traumatic, recover-quickly and spreadingworth method for treatment of maxillo-facial deepish hemangioma.
