Following are general notes on selection and trimming in pathology:
- Generally, use inking for resection margins where cancer radicality is important.Template:Ink note Excisions made by laser do not need inking on the excision surfaces, since the coagulated surface can be easily identified in the microscope.[1]
- Preferably photograph or make a drawing where slices have been taken.[2]
- Remove any surgical stitches from samples before microtomy.
- At least for larger samples, consider looking for medical imaging or biopsy reports in order to better guide the process.[3]
- Generally, strive to make slices perpendicular to visible interfaces of different tissues.
