[Cryogenic ENT applicator].

Abstract

A cryogenic ENT applicator, model K-22 has been designed and recommended for clinical use. The applicator unit comprises an independent container filled with liquid nitrogen and connected to a cooling tip 2 mm in diameter by capillary tubes. The applicator is used for the destruction of neoplasms by cryogenic action in hardly accessible places in the aural, pharyngeal and nasal cavities. The applicator is easy to sue, has a small size and weight and allows a good survey of the operative field. It can be used in hospital and in outpatient clinics.

Cryoprobe-assisted removal of spinal cord tumors: technical note.

The application of a cryosurgical contact probe to assist in the removal of intraspinal neoplasms is described. Most often used by ophthalmic surgeons for intraocular extraction purposes, these .89-3 mm cryoprobes provide an ideal safe "handle" when attached to intramedullary or extramedullary spinal cord tumors and facilitate dissection and removal with standard microsurgical techniques.
