Frozen Section (1 Specimen)

A frozen section is a medical laboratory procedure where a tissue sample is frozen and then sliced thinly for microscopic examination. It is typically used during surgery to quickly diagnose any abnormal tissues that are found.

During the procedure, a small piece of tissue is removed from the body and immediately frozen using a special machine called a cryostat. Once the tissue is frozen, it is sliced into thin sections and mounted on slides. The slides are then stained and examined under a microscope by a pathologist who can quickly determine if the tissue is normal or abnormal.

A frozen section is particularly useful for identifying cancerous tumors during surgery. If a tumor is detected, the surgeon can immediately remove it, reducing the need for a second surgery. Frozen sections can also be used to diagnose infections and other diseases.

A frozen section (1 specimen) is done for several reasons:

Rapid diagnosis during surgery : A frozen section allows the surgeon to get a rapid diagnosis during surgery. This can help the surgeon decide on the best course of action and potentially avoid a second surgery.

Diagnosis of cancer : Frozen sections are particularly useful for identifying cancerous tumors during surgery. By quickly diagnosing cancer, the surgeon can immediately remove the tumor, reducing the risk of it spreading to other parts of the body.

Diagnosis of infections : Frozen sections can also be used to diagnose infections during surgery. This can help the surgeon choose the best course of treatment and reduce the risk of complications.

Confirmation of diagnosis : In some cases, a frozen section may be used to confirm a diagnosis made on a previous biopsy or imaging study. This can help guide further treatment decisions.
