Abstract: Resumo: A criocirurgia com nitrogênio líquido é recurso cirúrgico utilizado para o tratamento de várias lesões cutâneas, benignas, pré-malignas e malignas. Promove destruição dos tecidos acometidos por congelamento e alterações da resposta imunológica. Os autores enfocam a utilização da criocirurgia no tratamento das dermatoses infecciosas, principalmente as verrugas virais, leishmaniose e ccromoblastomicose. Discutem os resultados como tratamento primário ou coadjuvante. O artigo também apresenta os cuidados … Show more

“…Cryosurgery is used for the treatment of some infectious dermatoses, especially viral warts, leishmaniasis and chromoblasomycosis. 18 Cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen is an option of treatment for chromoblastomycosis and the results are more satisfying in localized and small lesions, being necessary an average of 6,7 sessions to cure, according to Pimentel et al 19,20 It was previously believed that low temperatures could destroy the infective agent but it was demonstrated that the fungal cultures in temperatures as low as -196°C would not kill it. Although efficacy has been proved it is not clearly known the mechanism of cure.…”

“…PORGEL (1993) relatou a capacidade de desvitalização óssea do nitrogênio líquido. Mesmo essa não sendo tecnicamente testada neste experimento, sabe-se que o nitrogênio líquido tem a capacidade de eliminar agentes infecciosos, como os vírus, diminuindo as chances de transmissão de doenças e também as lesões tumorais benignas e malignas (MORAES et al, 2008). Isso possivelmente acabaria por diminuir a necessidade de formação de um banco de ossos, pela perspectiva de utilizar fragmentos ósseos de indivíduos que já tenham ido a óbito, por exemplo.…”

“…1,2 EAN can be treated with cryosurgery, and there are descriptions in the literature of successful treatment using this technique with two 45-second cycles followed by repeat treatment 2 months later. 9,13 There was no relapse in seven years. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a good treatment choice for localized disease as it allows the tumor to be excised completely, thus reducing the risk of recurrence, while at the same time allowing the breast structure to be preserved.…”
