Rapid Postmortem Temporal Bone Extraction and Dissection of Human Inner Ear Organs From Organ Donors
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We developed a postmortem protocol for temporal bone extraction and dissection in organ donors, enabling atraumatic bilateral temporal bone retrieval within 1–2 h of ischemia, followed by stepwise microsurgical dissection of neurosensory organs. Combining rapid extraction, abbreviated decalcification, and atraumatic microsurgical dissection, this ...
