What you need to know about morphological examination?
According to scientists, morphological studies are the gold standard in the process of diagnosing various diseases.
During morphological examination, tissues and cells are examined under a microscope.
By morphological examination, the attending physician makes an unmistakable, accurate diagnosis - types of morphological examination include cytological and histological methods.
Morphological examination is especially important during tumor processes.
However, morphological examination is not the only way to diagnose cancer. For example, when examining a normal hernial park, it is very likely that, on the basis of a morphological examination, the surgeon will find metastatic lesions of the palate, when examining cholecystitis and appendicitis, a tumor of the appendix and gallbladder will be detected, and in acute appendicitis, pus on the face.
What is the purpose of morphological research?
Morphological examination is a very important test, the main purpose of which is the final verification of the diagnosis.
For morphological research, a morphologist will examine biopsy and surgical material in the laboratory at the tissue, cellular, molecular level.
It is impossible to determine the course of treatment and prognosis without a morphological study.
The diagnosis is made by combining the data of the morphological examination with the clinical conclusion, the pathology is maintained, the effective treatment of the disease is carried out.
What is intraoperative morphological examination?
Intraoperative examination is also called express, emergency diagnosis.
Intraoperative morphological examination refers to the condition when, directly during the operation, during surgical intervention, in order to confirm the diagnosis, it is necessary to examine the excised tissue.
Express morphological examination is required when the clinical diagnosis is unclear - a maximum of 30 minutes is required for this type of examination.
According to the response of the intraoperative morphological examination, the surgeon is allowed to determine the tactics and scale of surgical treatment - the team of surgeons, based on the result of express diagnostics, makes a decision on the preservation of the organ, i.e. The question of conducting a sparing operation (in some cases the process is benign, which means that the excision of the organ is not required and only the tumor is removed).
It should be noted that intraoperative diagnostics can be performed from any organ, and a planned examination of the operating material is carried out after an express examination.
Morphological examination of cells
To confirm the diagnosis of leukemia, a laboratory study is necessary, with the help of which the morphologist examines the size, volume and shape of the bone marrow cells.
This process is called cell morphology, and thus the type of leukemia is assessed.
P.S. Examination of morphology material at Acibadem Labmed is already possible through the official partner I-Lab. For detailed information see the link
