Abstract:
The present studies are concerned with the reconfirmation of cryo-effects on the tonsil, such as advantages of cryosurgery on habitual tonsillitis, on expansive growth of tonsillar haemangioma and papilloma, and on malignant lymphoma. The present results revealed that post-operative healing of the wounds was satisfactory with minimum scar formation. Recurrence of habituere tonsillitis within three years after cryosurgery was 17%. Cryosensitivity was extremely high on patients with haemangioma and papilloma, even in cases of malignant lymphoma.
