Post Mortem Technique Handbook (Relié)

Post Mortem Technique Handbook, Second Edition, is a comprehensive practical guide to performing the modern post mortem. The text is well illustrated and presented by system. 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 practicing pathologist. The recent debates regarding organ retention have lead to major changes in the legal groundings of post mortems, and yet recent studies confirm the continued need for autopsy information, given the inaccuracies of pre-mortem diagnosis.
This new and thoroughly revised edition includes the most recent guidance from the Royal College of Pathologists and from the College of American Pathologists.
