Evisceration techniques

Abstract

The description of the main general evisceration techniques will be outlined here, but it should be remembered that alternative or improvised methods are frequently used and that special techniques are regularly required. It is hoped that all of the commonly-used alternative methods are included in the present chapter, with the more routine. The more specialised and uncommon techniques will be described in the various chapters on the systems. In this way it should be possible to run through the majority of practices in this chapter and avoid extensive cross-references, whilst describing all of the rarer procedures separately. Some will inevitably be repeated, but we feel it is important for some descriptive detail to be given in this general chapter, in order to avoid such persistent cross-referencing.
