Ultra-fast real-time intraoperative diagnostic confirmation of successful sural nerve biopsy using digital confocal microscopy: a case report and review of the literature
Real-time confocal microscopy is used primarily for intraoperative tumour applications (in vivo margin assessment, ex vivo biopsy target confirmation). This is the first reported case of ultra-fast real-time digital confocal microscopy being used to confirm a successful sural nerve biopsy.
