Pathologists learning autopsy technique and even those with extensive autopsy experience will find Special Autopsy Dissections a handy guide to the performance of special dissections that are seldom or only periodically performed. The book is especially useful for cases involving unexplained cardiac death, intravascular air, thromboemboli, portal hypertension, deaths in custody, sexual assault, neuromuscular disorders, ocular abnormalities, middle ear disorders, long bone examination, jaw removal for identification, and rare cases in which deep examination of the face is required. Tips are also provided for autopsy-related procedures such as obtaining fingerprints, defleshing bone, and many other topics.
Special Autopsy Dissections is a unique resource that picks up where An Introduction to Autopsy Techniques: Step-by-Step Diagrams leaves off. Presented in a similar format, the book contains clear, concise directions and detailed, step-by-step diagrams for numerous procedures, including information on the indications for the procedure and the equipment required. Special Autopsy Dissections will serve as a ready aid for teaching, referral, and autopsy improvement.
