What Is Cervical Cryosurgery?
Cervical cryosurgery is an outpatient surgical procedure performed to ablate abnormal tissue in the cervix, killing the cells so they cannot continue reproducing. This procedure is most commonly performed on patients with what is known as cervical dysplasia, a development of abnormal cellular growth in the cervix that can precede cancer. The procedure is very low risk and safe and when it is over, the patient can usually leave almost immediately.
