What body part is excised during the 'en masse' autopsy method?

In the 'en masse' autopsy method, multiple organs are excised at once to facilitate a thorough examination. This procedure is typically used when there is a need to investigate extensive pathology or when a comprehensive approach is necessary for cases such as mass fatalities or when specific injuries or diseases affect numerous organs simultaneously. By removing multiple organs together, the pathologist can analyze the interrelationships between various systems and assess how one may affect the others, providing a holistic view of the individual’s health status and the cause of death. This technique contrasts with excising separate body parts which might not provide as complete a picture.
