cryoablation

Cryoablation is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue, such as tumors or problematic heart cells. A specialized probe is inserted into the affected area, and then cooled to very low temperatures, creating a precise zone of freezing that kills the targeted cells. This minimally invasive technique helps treat various conditions with fewer risks and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery. Cryoablation is commonly used for cancer, arrhythmias, and certain benign growths, offering a targeted approach that spares surrounding healthy tissue.
