Definition
A surgical technique using extreme cold (usually liquid nitrogen) to destroy or remove unwanted tissue like tumors, warts, or damaged cells.
Etymology
From 'cryo-' (cold) plus 'surgery' (medical procedure). Developed in the 1960s as technology advanced; combines ancient cautery concepts but inverted—using cold instead of heat for tissue destruction.
Kelly Says
Cryosurgery is one of the few medical procedures that deliberately kills tissue to help the patient—the controlled damage triggers your immune system to clean everything up, leaving minimal scarring!
