Cryosurgery

Cryosurgery is a procedure involving the freezing of tissues, thereby killing the tissue and allowing it to fall away. We do this using a liquid nitrogen spray jet dispenser.

It is a procedure that is very useful for the removal of superficial growths as it is a less painful process than surgery and can often be carried out without a general anaesthetic. Cryosurgery is also one of the main techniques employed in the treatment of furunculosis, this is a deep infection commonly found in the perianal area of German Shepherd Dogs.
