nononcologic

While some surgical procedures at our institution are virtually guaranteed to require frozen sections (such as margin assessments on a pancreatoduodenectomy), other procedures only variably generate a consultation (such as thyroidectomies for mass lesions), and some frozen sections are, of course, unpredictable (such as incidentally discovered lesions during routine, nononcologic surgeries).
