'''Intraoperative consultation''', also '''quick section''' and '''frozen section''', is when a surgeon requests an opinion during an operation so that they can appropriately manage a patient. It is abbreviated '''IC'''. Frozen section is often abbreviated '''FS'''. | '''Intraoperative consultation''', also '''quick section''' and '''frozen section''', is when a surgeon requests an opinion during an operation so that they can appropriately manage a patient.

[[Cut-up]] at frozen section depends on how the specimen is received and its size. | |||
*Small skin specimens: the standard grossing procedure for fixed specimens. | |||
*Large skin specimens: inking is typically as per the routine process. It is useful to mark non-margin if the nearest margin is taken [[en face margin|en face]]. | |||
*Oriented margins should be grossed in a way that allows orientation by [[ink]]. Ideally, ink should allow one to identify the different specimens. See ''[[Grossing separately received oriented margins for a skin ellipse|grossing separately received oriented margins for a skin ellipse]]''. | |||
