Cryosurgery – A Minimally Invasive Surgery for Skin Issues at Ayushman Hospital
Ayushman Hospital offers cryosurgery as a surgical removal technique that eliminates abnormal or diseased tissues using very low temperatures. It is preferred among dermatologists because it works effectively on different skin related issues such as skin cancer, warts, moles, skin age spots, precancerous lesions and more. In addition, cryotherapy helps patients who want to improve their skin without dealing with pain.
What is Cryosurgery?
In cryosurgery, liquid nitrogen is used as a freezing agent to apply abnormal growth on the outer surface of the skin. While freezing, the tissues become extremely cold and get destroyed eventually. The damaged tissues are biologically disposed of by the body over time providing room for healthy skin to grow. As there are no cuts or stitches needed, this method is less invasive than surgical excision.
Conditions Treated with Cryosurgery
Some of the few skin disorders which can be treated by cryosurgery include:
- Skin Cancer – Skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma can be treated with cryosurgery by freezing the malignant tissue.
- Precancerous Lesions – Changes such as keratosis due to long term sunlight exposure can be dealt with cryosurgery to avoid further chances of cancer.
- Warts – Cryosurgery works well for common warts, plantar warts, and genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Moles and Skin Tags – Benign growths such as moles and skin tags can also be removed through freezing.
- Age Spots – Cryosurgery works on sunspots, freckles, and other colored skin lesions as well.
- Seborrheic Keratosis – Those are benign and have a wart texture, and they can be treated with cryosurgery.
How Does Cryosurgery Work?
- Consultation and Diagnosis – This starts with a consultation when a dermatologist evaluates your skin and see if you are suitable for the treatment.
- Application of Cryogen – Liquid nitrogen is applied to the skin using a special applicator or cryosurgical device. This will freeze the abnormal tissue so that the tissue can break down.
- Freezing and Treatment – Depending on the size of the lesion, it takes only a few seconds to minutes to freeze. The tissue that is abnormal tends to be destroyed by the cold temperature.
- Healing Process – The frozen tissue falls off after a few days to weeks. The area that was treated may scab over and healthy skin starts to grow.
