Rishikesh: Now post mortem of dead body will be done without dissection. AIIMS Rishikesh has invented a new method of post mortem. In this, post mortem can be done without dissection with the joint cooperation of laproscopy, endoscopy and CT scan. AIIMS experts claim that this method is more accurate than the traditional method.
In the traditional method, the dead body has to be dissected from the throat to the stomach for post mortem. Also, the head part has to be dissected. The sentiments of the family members are hurt by dissection of the dead body for post mortem. Due to which many times the family members also refuse for post mortem.
Keeping all these things in mind, AIIMS experts have invented a new method of post mortem, which has been named minimally invasive autopsy. Dr. of the Forensic Medicine Department of AIIMS. Ashish says that for a long time, efforts were being made to minimize the incisions during postmortem.
In many medical institutions, postmortems are being done through CT scan. But in some cases, despite the CT scanner, incisions have to be made for internal examination, viscera and biopsy. In such a situation, the idea came that postmortem can be done through laparoscopy and endoscopy along with CT scan. Due to which internal organs can be examined and biopsy can be done without incision. Department head Dr. Binay Bastian and institute director Professor Meenu Singh fully supported in starting this method.
What is minimally invasive autopsy?
Dr. Ashish Bhute says that in this technique, after doing a CT scan, holes of about two centimeters each are made at some places on the dead body to examine the internal organs of the body. Laparoscopic or endoscopic telescope is inserted through these holes. The organs inside the stomach can be examined. Endoscopy allows the cavity of organs to be viewed. In sexual matters, the inside of the genitals can be seen. Earlier, these organs had to be cut to see the inside.
