Chapter 623 The autopsy begins(2/2)

The Y-shaped incision method causes less damage to the skin of the neck. When the deceased wears clothes with a slightly higher collar, the sutures can be covered, and the appearance of the body can be more beautiful.

Therefore, the effect of the two incision methods is the same, that is, the "line-shaped" barbaric point, and the "Y-shaped" relatively civilized point.

Chen Qi took a look at this rich man and decided to make him more respectable:

"Let's make a Y-shaped incision."

"OK!"

Chen Qi found the mastoid process behind the left ear of the deceased, and started to cut from there. The knife cut directly from behind the ear to the center of the sternum.

Then the same knife came out on the right side.

Because the deceased has been dead for a week, there is no blood flowing out at this time. If it is a fresh corpse, it will start to slip and bleed at this time.

After the diagonal incisions were made on both sides, Chen Qi faced the middle line again, made a strong cut with his right hand, and cut it all the way to the bottom.

At this time, the corpse has actually been disemboweled, but what you see is not the internal organs, but the yellow fat.

Especially since the deceased was a fat white man, the fat layer was quite thick and it would be a waste of effort to separate it.

Fortunately, it has been frozen. If the corpse was found in the wild on a hot day, an autopsy would be fatal at that time, because the fat is greasy and will not slip in the hand, plus the smell of corpse...



You taste it, you taste it carefully!

Chen Qi and Professor Bradley worked hard for a long time, and finally separated the fat and muscle layers of the deceased, exposing the abdominal omentum. This was the first step completed.

"Oh my god, you Americans are so good at eating. With so much fat, you will be exhausted."

"Yes, so body management is the most important thing, otherwise you will be rejected by the forensic doctor after death."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While Chen Qi and Bradley were chatting, they used forceps to lift the peritoneum and cut a small incision, and then carefully cut the lifted abdominal omentum with a knife.

During this operation, you need to use vascular forceps to lift up the abdominal wall to avoid cutting and damaging the organs in the abdominal cavity, and then cut off the muscles connected to the lower edge of the chest wall along the costal arch to expand the abdominal cavity.

At this time, one of the three cavities of the abdomen is opened, exposing the organs inside the abdomen.

Even if it is frozen, after all, it has been dead for a week, the corpse still has a peculiar smell, especially the intestinal odor is particularly obvious, and many onlookers have taken a few steps back.

The staff in charge of the camera pulled the camera lens in and took a picture of the inside of the abdominal cavity. They took a preliminary look at the intestines, stomach, etc. to see if there was any damage or discoloration. These are superficial things.

The staff from the two countries who were responsible for taking pictures also came forward, and Katcha Katcha began to take pictures from multiple angles.

Instead, the five forensic doctors just glanced at it and didn't look further. They knew from experience that there was no problem at a glance. Then they continued to sit aside and wait, because opening the abdominal cavity was only the first step.

The easiest thing to do in an autopsy is to open the "three cavities", namely the abdominal cavity, the chest cavity, and the brain cavity.

As everyone imagines, the liver, lungs, and most of the stomach are all organs that need to be opened to see clearly.

Just like the little juggling girl in front of the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital who swallowed a live snake alive, if traditional surgery is required, the chest must be opened before the stomach can be operated on.

But opening the chest is not just a matter of talk. This is much more difficult than cutting open the stomach, because the chest is protected by ribs and sternum.

So to open the chest, you have to remove the bones first. The bones are very hard and the scalpel is useless.

At this time, there were different approaches at home and abroad.

In China, we like to cut off the ribs directly from the junction of the ribs and costal cartilage one by one, and then remove the ribs and sternum to expose the chest cavity.

The advantage is that the cartilage is easy to cut and the operation is simple.

However, the disadvantage is that the exposure range of the chest cavity is small, and the in-situ observation field within the chest cavity is small.

Foreign forensic doctors prefer to use rib scissors directly to cut off the axillary segments of the ribs on both sides in order to fully expose the chest cavity.

The advantage is that the field of view for in-situ observation of internal organs in the chest is large, but the disadvantage is that the axillary ribs are hard and difficult to cut.

Bradley looked at Chen Qi again: "Chen, what tool do you want to cut the bones?"
