The Pathology Laboratory at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital provides immediate intraoperative histopathological diagnosis through the Frozen Section technique, which is performed on tissue samples while the patient is still in the operating room.
\ud83d\udccc What is the Frozen Section technique?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Frozen Section is an advanced laboratory procedure in which a tissue specimen is rapidly frozen, then cut into extremely thin sections and examined under a microscope during surgery. This process allows pathologists to deliver preliminary results within approximately 20 minutes of receiving the specimen, enabling the surgical team to obtain fast, accurate information and make critical decisions during the same operation. \ud83d\udccc Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \u2022 It helps surgeons determine whether a tumor is benign or malignant during surgery, rather than waiting several days for conventional pathology results. \ud83d\udccc The technology used:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The technique relies on rapid tissue freezing inside a specialized machine known as a cryostat, followed by sectioning, labeling, and staining of the tissue slides for immediate microscopic examination. This allows pathologists to provide an on-the-spot report to the surgeon. \ud83d\udccc Our hospital\u2019s advantage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The availability of this technology within our laboratory reflects Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital\u2019s commitment to the highest standards of healthcare. It plays a vital role in improving surgical outcomes, particularly in sensitive tumor cases that require swift and well-informed clinical decisions.
