“…The place of autopsy in modern medicine In many countries, there has been a visible decline in the number of autopsies performed over recent years [2,[4][5][6][7][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The reasons for this phenomenon are diverse, occurring both on the side of doctors and patients.…”

The noticeable decline in the number of autopsies performed in recent years requires investigation into the causes of the phenomenon and attempts to prevent it. One potential cause of this trend is fear of disfiguring the body. Carrying out autopsies using a minimally invasive method may reduce the decrease in the number of autopsies performed. The first work on the development of the method and its continuation gave promising results. This allows us to start a discussion on attempts to introduce the method. The solution seems especially justified when the alternative is to completely abandon post-mortem examinations using the traditional method. Laparoscopy and thoracoscopy are tools that allow for accurate imaging and analysis of organ changes. Enriching them with additional tests using endoscopic techniques may have a positive impact on the accuracy of autopsy diagnoses. The development of a clear protocol for minimally invasive post-mortem diagnosis requires further research to determine the accuracy of the method.
