Feasibility of Timesaving When Using Histolog Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Margin Assessment in Prostatectomy Specimen

Upon prostate removal, the prostate is taken to the Histolog scanner, dipped in proprietary fluorescent dye, rinsed with saline, and then scanned on five different sides. This involves simply placing the prostate on the surface of the scanner and acquiring images on each side, giving a high-resolution (cellular level) microscopic imaging of the prostate's surfaces. Once images are collected, the prostate is returned to the pathology lab to undergo the NeuroSafe procedure, which is standard of care (SOC).
