Surgical Pathology

Surgical pathology is the most important and tedious area of practice for most anatomical pathologists. Surgical pathology includes microscopic examination of surgical examples, and in addition biopsies put together by surgeons and non-surgeons, such as general internists, restorative subspecialists, dermatologists, and interventional radiologists. The practice of surgical pathology takes into account complete analysis of infection regardless where tissue is surgically removed from a patient. This is generally performed by a mix of naturally visible and minute examination of the tissue, and may include assessments of atomic properties of the tissue by immunohistochemistry or other research tests.
