The application of a cryosurgical contact probe to assist in the removal of intraspinal neoplasms is described. Most often used by ophthalmic surgeons for intraocular extraction purposes, these .89-3 mm cryoprobes provide an ideal safe "handle" when attached to intramedullary or extramedullary spinal cord tumors and facilitate dissection and removal with standard microsurgical techniques.
