ABSTRACT
Cryosurgery is an outpatient modality capable of destroying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Among 770 patients treated with cryosurgery who had at least two follow-up Papanicolaou smears, a persistence of CIN was noted in 10%. It was more difficult to destroy CIN III disease and large lesions (more than 50% of the cervix involved), although grade appeared to be more important than size of the lesion. Many patients with a persistent lesion were retreated as outpatients; as a result, in more than 96% of the 770 patients the lesion was eradicated.
