Cryoablation is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal tissue, such as tumors. This technique involves inserting a thin probe into the targeted area, where it cools the tissue to very low temperatures. The cold causes the cells to freeze and die, which can help treat various conditions, including certain types of cancer. The procedure is often performed under imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or CT scans, to ensure accuracy. Cryoablation is minimally invasive, meaning it typically requires only small incisions and results in less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
