The Diagnostic Histopathology and Cytology
sections which belongs to the laboratory divisions deals with Surgical and
Cytological materials. Histopathology
and Cytology section at YADC comprises of state of art equipment as to aid
quick and efficient reporting due to its rapid processing ability and
capacity to handle good amount of load. This is precisely possible because of double back up equipment status at each stage, Viz; two tissue
processors for rapid processing through
various chemicals followed by two tissue embedding units for block
making and two highly sophisticated
micro-tomes as to get the
finest and thin sections. The Automated slide stainer and the automated
cover slip mounting equipment further adds to rapidity. The
Histopathological section has advanced grossing table with all latest
features along with telephonic -- recording facility. The
department also entertains Frozen
section with two advanced Tissue-tek Cryostats where in the intraoperative diagnosis
can be rendered in 20 to 25 minutes with the help of rapid staining . The
Cytology section is equipped with two advanced Cytofuges as to provide good material
for all liquid specimens, besides PAP reporting. Above
all we have 9 experienced technicians and 4 staff doctors (Histopathologists
& Cytologist) who will orchestrate all the events meticulously. The
department is all ready to entertain the Routine H&E staining on
Histopathology specimens and PAP with /or Giemsa staining on Cytology
specimens. A
good number of initial panels of Immunohistochemical stains and special
stains are available as ancillary methods to aid the Histopathology and
Cytology diagnosis. A good communication is maintained between the two
sections (Histopathology & Cytology) which allows thorough morphological
examination of materials with high level of diagnostic accuracy. The
Histopathology and Cytology section would entertain a regular quality
control activity and update program for technicians and doctors, who remain
committed to best of their ability.
