Abstract
Among the few serious complications of cryosurgery are neuropathies. Three cases are reported. Prevention of neuropathy from cryosurgery depends upon awareness of the superficiality of the course of certain peripheral nerves in certain anatomic sites and cautious practice or avoidance of cryosurgery in those sites.Keywords
