[Cryo-ultrasonic surgery of bone tumors]

Results of treatment of 38 patients with bone tumors and tumor-like injuries of bones were studied. All the patients were subjected to surgical operations associated with a single cryoultrasonic procedure. The period of observations was from 1 to 5 years. The author has made a conclusion that cryoultrasonic surgery of bone tumors gives good results: recovery was achieved in 37 patients. No recurrences were noted. One patient with osteosarcoma died 5 months after operation (metastases to the lungs).
