Ten patients with rectal tumours were treated by cryosurgery. Good palliation without local complications was achieved in the cases of rectal carcinoma and a complete cure followed treatment of benign rectal tumours. Low rectal carcinomas with clinical evidence of dissemination are ideally suited for cryosurgery and complications are minimal. Cryosurgery is a simple, safe procedure which can be performed without a general anaesthetic, and this study indicates that it has a place in the management of rectal tumours.
10例直肠肿瘤患者接受了冷冻手术治疗。直肠癌患者获得了良好的姑息治疗效果且无局部并发症，良性直肠肿瘤患者经治疗后实现了完全治愈。有临床播散证据的低位直肠癌非常适合冷冻手术，且并发症极少。冷冻手术是一种简单、安全的操作，无需全身麻醉即可进行，本研究表明其在直肠肿瘤的治疗中占有一席之地。
