Osteocool is a medical procedure that is used to treat spinal tumors.
It involves using extreme cold to destroy the tumor cells. This procedure is ideal for patients who have spinal tumors that cannot be treated with traditional methods such as surgery or radiation therapy. The recovery time for this procedure is relatively short, and complications are rare. The procedure involves inserting a probe into the tumor, which is then cooled to -40°C using carbon dioxide. The extreme cold causes the tumor cells to die, and the dead tissue is gradually replaced by healthy tissue. It is a safe alternative to traditional surgery, with a low risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. Osteocool is a valuable tool the treatment of tumors, providing patients with a less invasive and more effective option for managing their condition.
