V D Galustov

Separate and combined cryoelectrocoagulation in acute gastroduodenal bleeding is a fairly effective method of local hemostasis. The applied cryoagent--liquid freon induces local freezing of the stomach mucous membrane practically immediately. Initially gasiform freon cleans mechanically the bleeding site of blood, which facilitates considerably the following electrocoagulation or freezing with liquid freon.

D003452	Cryosurgery	The use of freezing as a special surgical technique to destroy or excise tissue.	Cryoablation,Cryoablations,Cryosurgeries
D004386	Duodenum	The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers.	Duodenums
D004564	Electrocoagulation	Procedures using an electrically heated wire or scalpel to treat hemorrhage (e.g., bleeding ulcers) and to ablate tumors, mucosal lesions, and refractory arrhythmias. It is different from ELECTROSURGERY which is used more for cutting tissue than destroying and in which the patient is part of the electric circuit.
