This workshop is an introduction to autopsy theory and practice that will familiarize participants with the historical evolution of the autopsy as well as with the technique of performing it.
In the first part of the workshop there will be presented aspects related to the place and relevance of the autopsy in different social contexts and its evolution over time from the use of corpses for dissections for medical educational purposes to autopsy to determine the cause of death, from the classic autopsy- in which all body cavities are opened- to virtual autopsy (Virtopsy®), which applies imaging techniques, allowing the preservation of body integrity.
The second stage is practical and will take place in the autopsy room. Participants will have the opportunity to attend a forensic autopsy, observing the various techniques of opening the body cavities, removing and examining the organs and also will have the possibility to perform certain parts of the autopsy themselves.
