Abstract
A software module for a software controlled device for performing cryosurgical procedures on a treatment region with a cryosurgical probe. The software controlled device is of a type that is responsive to user input settings. The software module includes a temperature feedback control system which is adaptive to the external heat load of a treatment region and utilizes user input settings for determining an optimal rate of gas flow through a cryosurgical probe thereby enabling the user to precisely monitor and deliver a cryosurgical treatment.
