Product Description

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.)

Product Description
Post Mortem Technique Handbook 2nd 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. A must-have for all those who conduct post mortems, this book is essential for pathologists in training, medical students, and mortuary technicians, but will also be useful to experienced practitioner requiring information on the less common techniques. Both authors are Consultant Histopathologists and Honorary Senior Lecturers at the University of London, and are closely involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate education and examination.

2.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable content, poor quality pictures., 8 Mar 2009
There aren't many UK postmortem guides and I was intrigued by this one, as the quality of other Springer books I'ved tried (fundamentals of renal pathology and thyroid cytopathology)have been excellent. Just shy of £90 its quite an outlay, which is why I was disappointed by the poor diagrams which look like they've been put together on a ZX Spectrum. All the diagrams and photos are B&W and while the latter may have started off at an appropriate resolution they have turned out badly; dark and difficult to appreciate.
On the good side, the book covers evisceration techniques nicely and the special techniques particularly well.
In summary - good content. Its just a shame a little more wasn't splashed out on quality - the paper, print and photos could all be better, especially for this much money.

4.0 out of 5 stars does what it says on the tin!, 25 Jun 2009
This is the first book I bought when I joined as a SHO in histopathology. Now towards the end of my training, I would still vouch for it. As the name indicates, this is a post mortem technique handbook. So if you wanted to know the 'practical' aspects of performing a post mortem safely, this book tells you everything - starting from health & safety practices in the UK to consent forms to evisceration to special techniques. There are also tables of weights and dimensions, which I am yet to find in any other recent PM handbook. On the other hand, if you are looking for an atlas, this is not the book for you. The only criticism I have is that the photographs are not good enough - they are in B&W, have suboptimal resolution and too few.

Overall, I would recommend this book as a useful guide to anyone who is interested in learning the practical aspects of performing post mortems.
