Essentials of Autopsy Practice: Recent Advances, Topics and DevelopmentsGuy N. Rutty Within the last century, the number of permission hospital autopsies has declined with the result that medico-legal autopsies have become the predominant form of post-mortem examination. This decline has resulted in a shortage of permission autopsies for training, therefore pathologists today may embark on their professional careers with considerably less experience in autopsy work than their predecessors, and yet as most of the autopsies they will perform will be medico-legal in nature, they may find themselves potentially out of their depth. This book is intended to be a reference to assist all involved in post-mortem and bereavement work. It features general information for the trainee, more specialist areas for consultants, and specific subjects for the specialist. The topics have been chosen in areas which commonly cause difficulty in interpretation for many pathologists. -- Publisher description. |
