About this title

Review

From reviews of the 1st edition:

This is a practical benchtop manual, which is comprehensive and fills a gap in the market. It is recommended, especially as an introductory handbook for trainees in anatomical pathology. (Clinical, Anatomical, Experimental Pathology 2002:34;204.)

The textbook should be available n each institute of pathology which is still performing autopsies, especially when young colleagues are to be trained in this technique. (Electronic Journal of Pathology and Histopathology 19-03-01.)

Synopsis

The post mortem, or autopsy, is an invaluable procedure in establishing the cause of death and investigating the presence of disease. It is also used in the evaluation of treatment and in medical education. The Post Mortem Technique Handbook provides a comprehensive practical guide to performing the modern post mortem. The book covers both the standard evisceration techniques and the many different dissection techniques that may be necessary in a variety of circumstances likely to be encountered by a practising pathologist. The text is well illustrated and is organised system by system.
