Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Accurate histopathological analysis is crucial for neurosurgical diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.
Conventional sample collection methods in neurosurgery face challenges with accessibility and reliability, particularly for deep-seated lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel, cost-effective technique for collecting neurosurgical specimens using a readily available mucous aspirator device.

Main Methods:

A new method utilizing a standard mucous aspirator device for specimen collection during neurosurgical procedures was developed.
The device's compatibility with suction cannulas and adjustable negative pressure settings were assessed.

Main Results:

The mucous aspirator technique proved economical, sterile, and disposable, making it suitable for low-resource environments.
Effective sample collection was demonstrated in both transcranial and transnasal neurosurgical procedures.
Collected samples in the device's canister were directly transferable for laboratory histopathological analysis.

Conclusions:

The proposed mucous aspirator technique provides an effective and accessible solution for neurosurgical sample collection.
This method enhances the reliability of histopathological analysis in neurosurgery, particularly in settings with limited resources.
