Few temporal bones are harvested during routine post-mortems. This study found only 8% of autopsies included temporal bone removal, indicating a low rate of tissue acquisition for research and clinical purposes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Anatomical Pathology

Background:

  • Temporal bone harvesting is crucial for research into hearing loss and neurological disorders.
  • Limited data exists on the current rates of temporal bone retrieval from autopsies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of temporal bone harvesting in routine post-mortem examinations.
  • To assess the current practices in four local Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) departments.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational study design.
  • Data collection across four participating ENT departments.
  • Analysis of autopsy records to identify temporal bone removal.

Main Results:

  • Only 8% of routine post-mortem examinations included the removal of temporal bones.
  • Significant underutilization of temporal bones for potential research or diagnostic purposes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The current rate of temporal bone harvesting is low.
    • There is a need to improve awareness and protocols for temporal bone retrieval in post-mortem procedures.
