Résumé

Hepatic cryotherapy is a relatively new technique of imaging controlled cyto destruction. The ice ball is easily visible on ultrasound and it is allowed to enlarge until it exceeds the tumour by more than 1 cm in every direction. The edge is then allowed to thaw and re-freeze and the probe is warmed by the passage of hot nitrogen gas, withdrawn, and a gelfoam plug is placed in the hole. Liver sutures are sometimes required to close cracks produced in the liver substance. The author now has experience of hepatic cryotherapy in over 160 patients mainly with unresectable metastases from colorectal cancer. He describes his experience.
