Objective To examine the thermal stress development during cryosurgical three region re warming. Method Several samples such as water, potato and pork liver were utilized to directly observe the crack developed inside them when subjected to a specific freezing or rewarming or a mixed procedure between them. The implicit finite difference method with variable time step was applied to calculate the tissue temperature and the thermal stress fields induced in three region thawing process. Result The transient thermal stress field over the tissue during re warming was obtained and results were compared with that in a simple freezing process.It was found that the stress distributions during the thawing stage are in opposite direction with those of the freezing process.Conclusion Quick re warming immediately following cryosurgical freezing may induce much stronger crack than using only a simple freezing treatment. This may have important value in cryosurgery.
