Abstract

Aim. Intraoperative frozen section examination (FSE) is an important tool for determining how extensive a surgical procedure needs to be. in this study we reviewed the indications for FSE, the correlation between FSE and postoperative histopathology, and the contribution of intraoperative FSE in determining the extent of the surgical procedure.
