Surgical Pathology Dissection: An Illustrated Guide fills the need for a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the preparation, dissection, and handling of surgical pathology tissue specimens. In this practical manual, the authors discuss the clinically important features of various types of specimens and lesions in each organ system.
The authors share their wealth of talent and experience by providing general principles that can be employed to resolve even the most complex problems in dissection and tissue sampling. The desriptive text is enhanced by exclusive, detailed illustrations depicting proper specimen handling techniques that add a unique vitality and multidimensional effect. In addition, each chapter features a section on Important Issues to Address in Your Surgical Pathology Report and references selected to their pertinent coverage of specimen handling for each organ system.
"This manual should serve as a conerstone upon which to build a stable but malleable standard of excellence in the surgical pathology cutting room."
"...an excellent practical product which helps formulate pertinent
particulars about those tissues which require examination during the
dissection. Highlights include illustrations which have been
thoughtfully prepared and labeled to answer those questions which
pathologists find particularly vexing. Schematics clearly portray how
sections might be taken so that the greatest amount of information is
obtained with the least amount of effort. This book is excellent and
will be useful in the cut-up room of every pathology department.
