Abstract
Intraoperative frozen sections can significantly improve the results of numerous visceral surgical operations. For this a close cooperation between surgery and pathology is a basic prerequisite. The main indications are the diagnostics of unclear intraoperative findings and the assessment of resection margins. Just as in any other procedure, there are also limiting factors to be considered in frozen section examinations.
