Some of the diagnostic tests that are suggested include:

• Biopsy: It involves taking a small sample of tissue from the area that will be treated. This tissue sample can be examined under a microscope to determine whether the tissue is cancerous or benign.
• Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans can help your surgeon get a better look at the cryoprobe and ensure that the treatment is targeted to the correct area.
• Blood tests: To assess your overall health and to check for any underlying conditions that may affect your ability to undergo the procedure.
• Skin sensitivity test: If the area being treated is on the skin, the surgeon may perform a skin sensitivity test to determine how your skin will react to the cold temperature
• Electrocardiogram: To check the health of your heart

How is Cryodestruction Done in Spain?

Here are the steps involved in the procedure:

• Preparation: The affected area is cleaned and dried thoroughly to ensure it is free of dirt, oil, or other contaminants.
• Application of cryogen: In the next step, the oncologist applies cryogen to the affected area using a cotton swab, spray, or probe. The temperature of the cryogen can reach as low as -196°C (-321°F), which causes the tissues to freeze and destroy.
• Thawing: After freezing, the affected area is allowed to thaw naturally. This process can take several minutes, depending on the size and location of the area.
• Repeated freeze-thaw cycles: In some cases, the procedure may involve multiple cycles of freezing and thawing to ensure complete destruction
• Healing: A blister or scab may form at the treatment's site, eventually falling off as the skin heals. Keeping the area clean and dry during the healing process is important to prevent infection.
• The whole process takes only a few minutes.

Recovery After Cryodestruction in Spain

Here are some general guidelines for recovery:

• You should avoid getting the treated area wet for at least 24 hours. Avoid swimming or soaking in a bathtub or hot tub for several days.
• Monitor the treated area for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should contact your surgeon.
• Do not pick at the scab or try to remove it prematurely, as this can delay the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
• The treated area may be more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight and wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and hats, when outdoors.
• Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process and ensure that the lesion has been completely removed. Complete recovery takes two weeks.
