Intraoperative Decision-Making: A Comparative Analysis of Scrape Cytology vs. Frozen Section in Eighty Consecutive Samples
Scrape cytology proved to be a reliable, cost-effective, and time-efficient alternative to FS, especially in settings where FS is unavailable. Although FS remains optimal for architectural detail, scrape cytology provides high diagnostic accuracy and utility for intraoperative decision-making in resource-limited environments.
