- Abstract
Knowledge of the technique of body restoration, recovery and embalming of corpses is important both from an ethical point of view and from an identification point of view. Conventional autopsy remains one of the main methods of forensic medicine. Different techniques are described within the article starting with basic restoration techniques and describing more advanced and difficult procedures in body reconstructions. Many European and other countries have the necessity of body modification imposed in recommendations or legislation. There are many tried and tested dissection techniques of different body parts that guarantee maximum yield of findings and at the same time an excellent level of reconstruction of the body back to its original state. With high-quality embalming procedures and with the accurate solution choice, only small changes show up as very slow mild dehydration over many months.
