Abstract
Detailed description and grossing techniques of resected gastrointestinal tract (GIT) specimens for non-neoplastic pathologies with principle of grossing, description of sections needed, and grossing tips. Both conventional and alternative approaches have been described where appropriate. Specific issues, as polypectomy, grossing in polyposis, Hirschsprung’s disease, ischemic bowel disease, diverticulosis, etc., have been covered.
