[Histonet] RE: Returning Placentas to Patients

[Pirain, Danielle D]

When I worked as a Pathologist assistant at CCF we were always to receive, document, gross in path lab and then release them to the patient.  Hope this helps.

For those of you who work at hospitals that will let patients take their placentas home, I have a question.  Do you ever see these placentas - are they sent to Pathology for exam before being returned to the patient or is the placenta given directly to the patient in L&D?
