The authors analyze the results obtained by the use of cryotherapy at the Rochapea Health Clinic from October 1995 until the 30th of June 1997. The authors make known the fundamentals and techniques of cryotherapy to other professionals who are not familiar with it and encourage them to put it into practice. They analyze the treatment given in 203 cases of common warts and plantar papillomas and specifically to the use of cryotherapy in 128 lesions at the Rochapea Health Clinic. The procedure is simple, effective, efficient and easy to learn. It happens to be quicker than conventional surgery and presents very few complications.
