Case reports of 1737 patients who were treated by cryotherapy have been analysed. The technique, indications, contraindications, complications and results of this therapy are described. This method gave a satisfactory result in 90% of the patients and 14% of the patients had severe pain immediately after the therapy. There are no follow-up results, because the treatment of haemorrhoids by cryosurgery is fairly new.
