[Intraoperative Histological Investigations in Gynaecology (author's transl)]

This study corroborates the great value of pathologist consultation in cases of diagnostic difficulty arising during the course of gynaecological operations. Joint discussion of the macroscopic appearance and/or interpretation of the frozen section appearance proved indispensable in the decision as to the appropriate operative procedure and the extent of the surgical measures in 147 cases submitted to intr-operative frozen section investigation. The highly satisfactory results are discussed and attributed largely to the efficient cooperation between pathologist and surgeon.
