Re: surgery at 8.15 and home by 2 yesterday
The samples that are examined while you're still in the OR are prepared by a technique called "frozen section." This technique is used because it's much faster and the equipment takes up much less space than the traditional technique. However, the technical quality of the specimens produced is much lower, which is why after surgery, the pathology labs *also* examines specimens prepared by the traditional technique.
"Inconclusive" means exactly that. It means that nothing of use could be determined from the lower quality samples.
Did your doc say when you might hear back on the post-op pathology report? I had to wait four weeks! The waiting part wasn't fun, but I focussed on resting and walking and healing and walking, plus I did some walking.
Good luck!
