Post Mortem Technique Handbook

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.
