[Cryosurgery of focal lesions of the liver in patients requiring reoperation].

Cryosurgery ++ (cryoresection and cryodestruction) was carried out in 21 of a group of 43 patients (48.8%) during resection and +re-resection of the liver in repeated operations. One patient died. It was found that cryodestruction combined with radical and palliative resections of the liver in reoperations improved the late-term results of the operation significantly. With the use of cryotechniques, blood loss is reduced and intraoperative dissemination of the tumour cells and alveococcus and recurrences in the postoperative period are prevented.
