management of oral hemangiomas by cryosurgery electrosurgery

Hemangiomas can present difficult management problems to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon when their removal is indicated. The present study was under taken to evaluate clinically the applications of cryosurgery and the use of electrosurgery in the management of soft tissue hemangiomas. The clinical material consisted of 12 cases of soft tissue hemangiomas of intra oral region. Amoils B.M.S. 40 cryoapparatus with a tonsillar probe was used with all cases. A high rate of cure was achieved by careful attention to adequate freezing of the tissues and to follow up after treatment at regular intervals; favorable results and high acceptablility strongly support more frequent use of this surgical technique in the management of soft tissue hemangiomas
