Cryosurgery

A Practical Manual

Herausgegeben: Pasquali, Paola

Beschreibung

The book covers all practical aspects of cryosurgery and also offers a theoretical foundation for practice. Basic principles, equipment, and techniques are described, and procedures are explained step by step for a range of applications, including common benign lesions, vascular lesions, pre-malignant conditions, and malignancies. An important feature is the coverage of the latest advances in combination treatments such as topical drugs (Imiquimod, 5-Fluoruracil) and cryosurgery, as well as the use of non-invasive imaging techniques like high-frequency ultrasound, photography, OCT, Line-FIeld-OCT, and reflectance confocal microscopy. Cryobiopsy and immuno-cryosurgery to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. Use of cryosurgery as palliative treatment is also discussed, and the closing chapters consider postoperative care, complications, and future directions.This completely reviewed edition aims to fill the gap created by the lack of formal training in cryosurgery, which leads not only to an underutilization of the technique, but also to inappropriate usage with undesirable consequences for patients. This second edition of Cryosurgery: A Practical Manual will be a handy tool in daily practice for Dermatologists, Nursing professionals, General practitioners, and also colleagues in the Veterinary field.
