IS FROZEN SECTION OBSOLETE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 29
Abstract
Frozen section enjoys popularity among surgeons worldwide, as a preoperative investigation and is preferred over paraffin sections because of its less time consuming nature, cost-effectiveness and for immuno histochemistry. If through inspection of the specimen and selection of the most suspicious area during examination. Taking more than one sample would make frozen section diagnosis more accurate. Avoid areas of necrosis, hemorrhage, calcification, cystic areas and highly friable tissues prior fixation because they lead to technically poor preparation of slides and more probable sources of errors.
