Abstract

The present study evaluated the effects of the use of liquid nitrogen cryosurgery. It proposed, as a model of study, a macroscopic analysis of three different protocols for the application of liquid nitrogen to the buccal mucuous of mice: (1) by means of a closed system (i.e., a probe); (2) by means of an open system (i.e., a spray); and (3) by means of prefabricated stems with cotton tips. Two freezes, of twenty seconds each, separated by five minutes of thaw were used. The death of the animals was accomplished after six hours of the end of the experiments. The initial and final data relating to the length and width each of the animal's tongues was recorded, analyzed, and compared to the data concerning the other test animals' tongues. In ...
