We used the retinal cryoprobe in the surgical management (biopsy and excision) of orbital and ocular adnexal tumors in four patients. The strong bond between the cryoprobe tip and the tumor allowed application of moderate traction to the tumors, facilitating their removal. The amount of traction on the tumor or cyst appeared to be much greater than that caused by forceps or clamps. In one case, however, marked traction with the cryoprobe caused rupture of the tumor capsule. In another case, in which a cyst wall was entered during dissection, we applied the cryoprobe to the opening, sealing the hole with an ice ball, to keep the cyst from collapsing. Histopathologic structure was not altered by cryoprobe applications.
我们使用视网膜冷冻探头对4例眼眶和眼附属器肿瘤进行手术治疗（活检和切除）。冷冻探头尖端与肿瘤之间的牢固粘连使得能够对肿瘤施加适度牵引，便于将其切除。对肿瘤或囊肿施加的牵引量似乎远大于镊子或夹子所产生的牵引量。然而，在1例病例中，使用冷冻探头进行显著牵引导致肿瘤包膜破裂。在另一例病例中，在解剖过程中进入了囊肿壁，我们将冷冻探头应用于开口处，用冰球封闭孔洞，以防止囊肿塌陷。冷冻探头的应用未改变组织病理学结构。
