Collection of sample for histopathological analysis is highly important during any surgical procedure. The histopathology report helps determine the diagnosis, prognosis further management, and follow-up plan. The use of a reliable sample collection technique is doubly important in neurosurgical procedures because lesions are often deep-seated and difficult to access. Conventional techniques of sample collection, such as use of tumor-grasping forceps and collection of material from the ultrasonic aspirator device suffer from limitations of access and unreliability. We propose a novel technique of sample collection using readily available mucous aspirator device. This device is economical, sterile, and disposable. It can be used even in low-resource settings because it is easily available. It can also be connected to suction cannula and the negative pressure settings can be adjusted as required. The use of this device for neurosurgical procedures has been tried in the transcranial and transnasal neurosurgical procedures and found to be effective. The sample collected in the canister of the mucous aspirator can be directly sent to the laboratory for histopathological analysis.
在任何外科手术过程中，采集样本用于组织病理学分析都非常重要。组织病理学报告有助于确定诊断、预后、进一步的治疗方案以及随访计划。在神经外科手术中，使用可靠的样本采集技术尤为重要，因为病变往往位置较深且难以触及。传统的样本采集技术，如使用肿瘤抓取钳和从超声吸引器装置收集材料，存在获取受限和不可靠的问题。我们提出一种使用现成的黏液吸引器装置进行样本采集的新技术。该装置经济、无菌且一次性使用。由于其易于获取，即使在资源匮乏的环境中也可使用。它还可以连接到吸引套管，负压设置可根据需要进行调整。该装置在经颅和经鼻神经外科手术中用于样本采集的效果已经得到验证。黏液吸引器收集罐中采集的样本可直接送往实验室进行组织病理学分析。
