Clinical Experience in the Cryosurgery of Haemangioma.

The author using cryoapplicator of his own modification presents cryosurgery as a successful surgical technique in cases of haemangiomas involving the face, lips, tongue and oral cavity. From 1968 to 1974 in the Stomatological Clinic of Lublin 56 patients were operated upon using this method. The results were very encouraging. Total regression of haemangiomas and regeneration of normal mucosa with no noticeable scar resulted. A method of cryosurgery especially suitable for very young patients or for those who are poor risks because of associated disease and advanced age is suggested.
