Inter-operative consultation, frozen, or cryosection support can be one of the most challenging situations for a pathologist.¹ As a pathologist is required to be present during surgery, this frequently demands costly late night trips to the operating room.² Absence of a pathologist postpones surgery and requires rescheduling of surgical procedures.³ During a frozen section, evaluation time is of paramount importance as the patient is in the operating room under anesthetic.⁴

The on-site presence of the SL5 instrument in the adjacent surgery suite, with its remotely controlled robotic microscope, allows the pathologist to provide essential information for the surgeon.
