مستخلص: Objectives: Intrapathology consultation is recommended for complex cases during frozen section (FS) as routine practice. In our institution, solicited second opinions were traditionally provided by in-person consultation (IPC). Whole-slide imaging (WSI) was implemented in 2018 as an alternative but replaced by videoconferencing in 2020. Here, we assess the accuracy of remote FS consultation using these digital modalities vs IPC.
Methods: Gynecologic FS cases over a 4-year period overseen by 2 intraoperative consultants were grouped by consultation method: (1) IPC, (2) WSI, and (3) videoconferencing. Accuracy was determined by concordance between the FS and final report diagnoses. Turnaround time between the 3 groups was analyzed using SPSS statistical software (IBM).
Results: Using WSI and videoconferencing, 100% concordance was observed, while the IPC group had a 98.5% concordance rate. Videoconferencing, however, showed longer turnaround times (mean, 45.59 minutes) than IPC (mean, 33.36 minutes). Although turnaround time positively correlated with the number of FS specimens, blocks, and H&E slides per case, no statistically significant differences in the number of specimens, blocks, and H&E slides generated were found among the consultation methods.
Conclusions: Even though turnaround time using videoconferencing is longer, the accuracy of WSI and videoconferencing for remote FS consultation is equivalent to IPC. It is therefore a safe method for conducting intrapathology FS consultation in challenging surgical cases.
