  • Title: Cryotherapy of the cervix.
    Author: Hurt WG.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 1979 Jul; 9(1):109-11. PubMed ID: 448310.
    Abstract:
    Cryotherapy is most useful in treating mild and moderate dysplasia of the ectocervix and symptomatic benign chronic cervicitis. It has almost replaced electrocauterization of the cervix and has reduced the need for conization. Cytology and colposcopy are essential in the selection of patients for this procedure and in evaluating their response to therapy.
