How to Get Started
Getting Started with Cryosurgery
Galil Medical is dedicating resources to identify new physicians interested in learning cryosurgical ablation, which enables freezing of malignant and benign tissue in minimally invasive procedures.
Cryotherapy is an exciting field and innovations are taking place all of the time. Current clinical efforts, for example, are underway to evaluate nerve-sparing prostate cryosurgery.
Cryotherapy is about enhancing patient quality of life. The prostate and renal cryotherapy workshops offered by Galil Medical are your starting point toward adding cryotherapy ablation as a treatment offering to your patients.
