Summary

PENETRATING WOUNDS OF THE SPLEEN AND LIVER WERE TREATED BY EITHER FREEZING OR HEATING, OR BOTH, USING SPECIAL INSTRUMENTATION WHICH COULD BE COOLED TO 83 K (-190 DEG C) OR HEATED TO 473 K (200 DEG C). THE HEMOSTATIC AND DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS WERE EVALUATED. FREEZING PRODUCED MAXIMAL DESTRUCTION WHILE HEATING PRODUCED MAXIMAL HEMOSTASIS. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE COMBINED TECHNIQUE IS WARRANTED WITH THE VIEW TOWARD APPLICATION TO THE TREATMENT OF VISCERAL TUMOURS.
