ROMERO, Nery; LABERIANO, Caddie y MOSCOSO, Gonzalo. Small suprapubic incision facilitates consent in perinatal and pediatric necropsies. An. Fac. med. [online]. 2016, vol.77, n.3, pp.237-240. ISSN 1025-5583.
Objective. To report a new approach lor perinatal and pediatric necropsy that allows parental consent. Methods. Experience with necropsies in 20 stillborn, 15 neonates and 8 inlants is presented with this new approach; the parents had relused the use of the standard body incision. Through a small transversal about 10 cm incision in the suprapubic region, manual evaluation of the abdominal and pelvic cavities was perlormed, and then the viscera were obtained by either the Letulles technique (a single block) or the Virchows technique (organ by organ). The incision is closed by subdermic suture. Conclusions. This technique is well accepted by the parents because the skin surface and the body as a whole appear little disturbed.
