What is Histopathological examination of Colectomy / APR?

This examination involves the detailed microscopic analysis of a surgically removed section of the colon (colectomy) or the rectum and anus (APR - Abdominoperineal Resection). It's performed to understand the nature of diseases affecting these parts of the digestive system.

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for diagnosing colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis), polyps, and other gastrointestinal conditions. It helps determine the stage of cancer, assess surgical margins, and guide further treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required for the sample collection process.
