Reliability of frozen section diagnosis of gallbladder tumor for detecting carcinoma and depth of its invasion

Intraoperative consultation in digestive surgery. A consecutive series of 800 frozen sections

“…Published studies in the literature have mostly concerned frozen section consultation for patients operated in very different types of surgical units [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Several studies have specifically evaluated the value of frozen section analysis in esophagogastric [4], hepatobiliary [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] or pancreatic [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] surgery.…”

Les examens extemporanés en chirurgie digestive. À propos d’une série consécutive de 800 examens

“…Les travaux publiés dans la littérature sont habituellement menés sur des examens extemporanés de malades opérés dans des services de chirurgie variés [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Certaines études ont toutefois déjà évalué plus spécifiquement l'intérêt de l'examen extemporané en chirurgie oesogastrique [4], hépa-tobiliaire [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] ou pancréatique [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Performance of beta- and high-energy gamma probes for the detection of cancer tissue in experimental surgical resection beds

“…While this technique is well established, discrepancies between the intraoperative and final histological examination may occur due to technical limitations and misinterpretations [2,3]. Also, frozen section histology is laborious, requires considerable time (thus results are not available in realtime) and it can accurately reflect disease status only if the selection of biopsy sites is adequate.…”
