 | | Cryotherapy poses little risk and can be well-tolerated by elderly and other patients who are not good candidates for other surgical procedures. | | | Both hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) and hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) are possible after cryotherapy. | | | Lesions that are suspected or known to be malignant melanoma should not be treated with cryotherapy, but should instead be removed surgically. |

| | Cryotherapy is the use of cold to treat disease, most commonly skin lesion (warts, moles, skin cancers, acne etc..) but it also has many other uses. | | | Cryotherapy is used in post-operative management in rotator cuff injuries as a method of pain management. | | | So cryotherapy is such a broad term which is why i said that the question was rather vague. |

| | In a recent review of complications of cryotherapy, the rates of incontinence using modern technique and equipment were estimated to be 5% for primarytherapy and 10% for salvage therapy (Ahmed, 2005). | | | A report of cryotherapy experiences in a community setting indicated that 84% of the patients reached a PSA nadir of less than 0.4 ng/mL, although the follow-up period was quite short (Ellis, 2002). | | | Greater nerve regeneration is possible after cryotherapy than after surgery or radiation therapy; accordingly, some patients have reportedly recovered erectile function as many as 2 years after treatment. |

| | At the conclusion of the cryotherapy operation, the cryoprobes are removed from the patient, who is left with several tiny incisions in the skin behind his scrotum, which the surgeon closes with a few individual stitches. | | | For these reasons, most experts on prostate cancer still consider this to be an investigational or experimental therapy. | | | Nonetheless, severe complications, including urinary incontinence, sloughing of the urethra, and damage to the rectum, still can occur even with modern prostatic cryotherapy techniques. |
