Postmortem Needle Biopsy

Postmortem Needle Biopsy is a minimally invasive autopsy technique that involves the extraction of tissue samples from deceased individuals using a needle to obtain diagnostic material for histopathological or microbiological analysis, distinguishing it from conventional surgical autopsy methods by its reliance on percutaneous sampling rather than open dissection.
