- The use of extreme cold (usually liquid nitrogen) to destroy unwanted tissue (warts or cataracts or skin cancers)
- Cryosurgery (cryotherapy) is the use of extreme cold in surgery to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. The term comes from the Greek words cryo (u03BAu03C1u03CDu03BF) ("icy cold") and surgery (cheirourgiki u2013 u03C7u03B5u03B9u03C1u03BFu03C5u03C1u03B3u03B9u03BAu03AE) meaning "hand work" or "handiwork". Cryosurgery has been historically used to treat a number of diseases and disorders, especially a variety of benign and malignant skin conditions.
