The selective exposure of tissues to extreme cold, often by applying a probe containing liquid nitrogen, to bring about the destruction or elimination of abnormal cells/ cancer.
Cryogenic Surgery is the surgery involving the selective destruction of tissues by freezing them, as with liquid nitrogen.
Cryogenic surgery
is a procedure that carefully destroys certain cells by freezing them
cryogenic metal treatment
Any gas that liquifies below -150 degrees C is a cryogenic gas. The most popular cryogenic gas is liquid nitrogen.
cryogenic :)
A cryogenic freezer is used to bring components inside the freezer down to cryogenic temperatures. Many cryogenic freezers are available for all sorts of applications. Cold boxes with added ln2 capabilities can refrigerate parts and then complete cryogenic processing cycles. Additionally, cryo freezers are available to freeze sex cells, stems cells, and more. Sometimes people are frozen after death, which is called cryonics. I have added a site below that has cryogenic freezers and processors available.

cryo-what!?
Cryogenic freezing is certainly related to nitrogen. In order to complete a deep cryogenic treatment a cryogen must be used. The least expensive cryogen for deep freezing is liquid nitrogen. Another cryogen is helium which allows special made cryogenic processors to reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.

Not especially.
Cryogenic valves facilitate the transfer of Liquified gas. Space industry, natural gas / petroleum, medical industry, chemicals.
