Cryosurgery is a valuable addition to the clinical services offered by family physicians. In the office setting, a cryoprobe cooled with nitrous oxide gas or liquid nitrogen spray can be used to initiate gradual controlled destruction of many common skin lesions. Cryosurgery is often an excellent alternative to cold-knife surgery for actinic and seborrheic keratoses, verrucae, benign nevi, skin tags and polyps. Cryosurgically treated lesions usually heal with little or no scar formation. The benefits of various cryosurgical techniques justify the minimal effort and expense required to incorporate them into clinical practice.
冷冻手术是家庭医生所提供临床服务的一项宝贵补充。在门诊环境中，用一氧化二氮气体或液氮喷雾冷却的冷冻探头可用于逐步控制性地破坏许多常见的皮肤病变。对于光化性和脂溢性角化病、疣、良性痣、皮赘和息肉，冷冻手术通常是冷刀手术的绝佳替代方法。经冷冻手术治疗的病变通常愈合后几乎不形成瘢痕或完全不形成瘢痕。各种冷冻手术技术的益处证明了将它们纳入临床实践所需的努力和费用极少是合理的。
