Macroscopic examination is a description of a tissue sample. This procedure involves observation of the specimen, together with the samples taken. As part of our laboratory’s ongoing quality approach, we carried out a study to assess the quality of macroscopic examination in pathological anatomy. The assessment and interviews carried out identified existing good practices and areas for improvement, namely: a lack of space under the fume hood, unsuitable bottles for certain specimens, communication difficulties with surgeons, staff exposure to chemical hazards, particularly formalin, and infectious risks when examining fresh anatomical specimens. The recommendations put forward in this study are aimed at improving this essential technique for accurate anatomical-pathological diagnosis.
Author Keywords: Macroscopic examination, pathological anatomy, quality, the axis of improvement.

Abstract
Macroscopic examination is a description of a tissue sample. This procedure involves observation of the specimen, together with the samples taken. As part of our laboratory’s ongoing quality approach, we carried out a study to assess the quality of macroscopic examination in pathological anatomy. The assessment and interviews carried out identified existing good practices and areas for improvement, namely: a lack of space under the fume hood, unsuitable bottles for certain specimens, communication difficulties with surgeons, staff exposure to chemical hazards, particularly formalin, and infectious risks when examining fresh anatomical specimens. The recommendations put forward in this study are aimed at improving this essential technique for accurate anatomical-pathological diagnosis.

Abstract: (french)
L’examen macroscopique représente une description d’un échantillon tissulaire. Cette procédure englobe une observation de la pièce, accompagnée des prélèvements. Dans le cadre de continuité de la démarche qualité au sein de notre laboratoire, nous avons mené une étude portant sur l’évaluation de la qualité de l’examen macroscopique en anatomie pathologique. L’évaluation et les entretiens effectués ont permis de déceler les bonnes pratiques existantes et des éléments à améliorer à savoir: un manque d’espace sous la hotte, des flacons inadaptés pour certaines pièces, des difficultés de communication avec les chirurgiens, le personnel est exposé à des risques chimiques notamment le formol et à des risques infectieux lors de l’examen des pièces anatomiques fraiches. Les recommandations formulées dans cette étude visent à améliorer cette technique essentielle afin d’établir un diagnostic anatomo-pathologique précis.
Author Keywords: Examen macroscopique, anatomie pathologique, qualité, sécurité, axes d’amélioration.
