Cryosurgery in the thorax has been carried out since 2009, when the first patient was operated on. Since then, this technique has become widespread in countries such as Taiwan, United States, China, Mexico, United Kingdom and Italy.
It is a minimally invasive procedure and is recommended for cases where conventional surgery is not possible, such as previous lung surgery or for patients who are older or very young. It is performed in a controlled way using CT guidance with local anaesthetic. A 1-2 day hospital stay is required.
The risks and complications such as pneumothorax and haemorrhages, are very rare and slight, and can be controlled with minimally invasive techniques, without the need for major intervention. Cryosurgery acts by freezing the cancer cells for their subsequent reabsorption. This technique is recommended in cases of both benign and malignant cells.
