Summary

THIS PAPER DESCRIBES A CRYONEUROSURGICAL MACHINE WHOSE TEMPERATURE OFPROBES CAN BE AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED DURING NEUROSURGICAL OPERATIONS. IT CAN ALSO BE USED IN PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS OR FOR THE INFLICTION OF LESIONS. A SERIES OF SPECIAL PROBES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WHICH ARE VACUUM -INSULATED EXCEPT AT THE TIP. THE INTERIOR OF THE TIPS OF THESE PROBES IS PROVIDED WITH TEMPERATURE SENSORS AND HEATING DEVICES AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TIPS CAN BE SET AND AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED IN THE RANGE OF 277 TO 77 K (4 TO;196.C).IT HAS BEEN CLINICALLY PROVED THAT THIS MACHINE CAN BE USED TO ISOLATE GLIOMAS OF THE BRAIN FROM SURROUNDING TISSUE BYCONSOLIDATION WHICH FACILITATES TOTAL REMOVAL OF THE TUMOUR AND LESSENS BLEEDING DURING SURGERY. BY CHANGING THE CRYOPROBES, THIS MACHINE CAN ALSO BE USED FOR MANY OTHER CRYOTHERAPEUTIC PURPOSES.
