Abstract:
The paper reports the A. experience of 1460 cases of verrucae treated with cryosurgery. A hyperdry nitrogen monoxide method was used which enables a temperature of approximately -80 degrees C to be obtained. The large number of cases treated allowed the A. to present a statistical picture which was highly significant with regard to the mean number of applications, mean freezing time and, lastly, the mean healing time for different types of verrucae. The study confirms that cryosurgery is the elective treatment for this type of pathology.
