Comparative Study on the Application Effects of Optimized Frozen Section Procedure in Oral Cancer Surgery

Objective. To investigate the application effects of optimizing the frozen section procedure in oral cancer surgery. Methods. A total of 45 oral cancer patients undergoing surgery were selected as the control group, operated from January 2020 to May 2021, without optimization of the frozen section procedure. Another 45 oral cancer patients undergoing surgery were selected as the experimental group, operated from June 2021 to December 2022, with the optimized frozen section procedure. The differences in the excellent rate of sections, the preparation time, the frozen report time and the accuracy rate between the two groups were compared. Results. In terms of the excellent rate of sections, the optimized procedure group was (44/45) 97.8%, which was higher than the conventional group (40/45) 88.9%; the preparation time and frozen report time in the optimized procedure group were (9.2 ± 0.7) min, and (26.4 ± 2.2) min, respectively, both shorter than those in the conventional group were (12.3 ± 1.3) min, and (31.8 ± 2.7) min, (p < 0.05); the accuracy rate of the frozen report, the optimized procedure group was (43/45) 95.6%, which was higher than the conventional group (40/45) 88.9%. Conclusion. Optimizing the frozen section procedure in oral cancer surgery can achieve desirable results, conducive to improving slide quality, reducing preparation time, and overall frozen report time. It is worthy of promotion.
