- Abstract
This article focuses on the treatment of recalcitrant viral warts with high dose cryosurgery under local anaesthesia. The aim of the present study was to compare a standard liquid nitrogen spray cryosurgery regimen with higher dose liquid nitrogen application in the treatment of recalcitrant viral warts, particularly in view of the emergence of the use of carbon dioxide laser and other surgical procedures for which local anaesthesia is required. standard liquid nitrogen treatment was completely ineffective in clearing recalcitrant viral warts. This treatment should, therefore, be re-appraised, particularly as only one-fifth of the plantar warts responded to higher dose treatment.
