    Hi 

    I had a cyst and both ovaries and tubes removed.  I’m one month post op.  I don’t know what a frozen section is and it was never mentioned so I don’t think I had one.   Hope that helps.

      A frozen section is done during surgery if they see something suspicious .they actually send a piece of it to pathology while you are under Anestesia .i guess to see  if they need to remove more in the area ..I didn't have one because dr didn't think my tumor or whatever the helk it is didn't look suspicious ..10 days later though and I still don't have pathology report .very stressful waiting

    I had my left ovary and tube removed 2 months ago and i didn't have a frozen section perform they only do that if it is something wrong and the cancer doctors where in the room with me in case it was something different while i was under the anesthesia so they can take it outhope everything goes well

      Hi

      My surgery was done by a gyno - oncologist and he didn't think it looked suspicious ..what was it that you had and how long before you got your final result?
