Operational Obstetrics & Gynecology
Cryosurgery to Treat Warts
|
This video demonstrates how to treat venereal warts or condyloma using a cryosurgery technique. This free video was produced by the US Navy as training for medical personnel in isolated settings. It was included on the Operational Obstetrics & Gynecology CD. It may be freely downloaded.
Cryosurgery "Place a small amount of lubricant on the cryo tip. Then apply the tip to the wart." "No anesthetic is needed. Freezing causes only a minor stinging sensation." "When the cryo gun is fired, the tip rapidly freezes, forming an ice ball at the tip." "Pressing the 'thaw' trigger will rapidly thaw the tip, releasing it from the skin." "Freeze just the wart. Try not to freeze much of the surrounding skin." "Following cryo, the wart will become edematous, then necrotic, and then will fall off. There is minimial to no scarring." "Never freeze inside the vagina, because of the risk of a fistula forming between the vagina and the bladder or bowel."
