Where do the parts amputated off in the hospital go?

In our rural areas, due to accidents or lesions and amputated limbs, the family will ask to stay, make a wooden box to be buried in their own homes, and when the person passes away placed in a coffin, the arm is placed in the position of the hand, the leg is placed in the position of the leg, known as the whole person, and the family's wishes, right?

Hospitals conduct many surgeries every day, such as stone surgery, appendicitis surgery, removal of tumors surgery, amputation surgery, etc., it is natural to cut some diseased tissues or organs from the patient's body during surgery. Many people may have the question of how the tissues or organs removed from the hospitals every day during surgery are handled, are they given back to the patients? Or do hospitals dispose of them on their own? Below, I will answer this question for you, hospital surgery amputation down the part of where in the end?

For patients who need amputation, the hospital will generally sign a "hospital dismembered limb disposal agreement" before the patient's surgery, which has for these hospital surgery amputation down the part is how to deal with.

Generally speaking, can be divided into two cases:

First, if this amputation part because of disease reasons need to amputate, mainly refers to a certain degree of infectious, in order to avoid the possibility of its spread of disease, pollution of the environment, then, in general, these amputations of the limb after the operation is the hospital unified treatment. First of all, the residual limbs for medical testing or pathological biopsy, followed by disinfection, the hospital and then in accordance with the medical waste disposal off, incineration of the ashes are not returned to the patient.

Second, if the amputation is due to other reasons, such as car accidents, etc., the amputated limb can be handled by the patient or his family, or the hospital can be entrusted to deal with the disarticulated limbs.

If the patient or family members to deal with their own, but also need to sign a "dismembered limb self-processing agreement", and in accordance with the provisions of the dismembered limb burned or buried, and can not be casually discarded.

If the hospital is entrusted to deal with the dismembered limbs, generally speaking, it is also in accordance with the medical waste disposal. Of course, if the hospital is affiliated with a medical school, it can be used as a teaching specimen for medical students to learn. For example, when I was in medical school, I saw many formalin-soaked human organs and tissues.

In the hospital to do surgery, not only only amputation part, and there may be some stones, appendicitis tissue or tumor tissue, for these things taken from the patient, if it is not contaminated or do not need to carry out a pathological tissue biopsy, such as kidney stones, bladder stones, etc., can be returned to the patient's own preservation and processing. If the patient does not need to save the stones, the hospital will treat them as medical waste.

If it is some appendicitis tissue or tumor tissue, generally will not be returned to the patient, because the hospital also need these tissues to further diagnosis of the disease, these tissues will be sent to the hospital's Department of Pathology for biopsy of pathological tissue. And when the doctor of the Department of Pathology has finished checking the tissues cut off in these surgeries, he will speak of the remaining tissues according to the medical waste to be disposed of, and the special personnel will carry out harmless treatment.

In fact, the Ministry of Health has relevant regulations, that is, the fetus, the remains of the baby into the remains of management, it is strictly prohibited to the fetus, the remains of the baby according to the implementation of the disposal of medical waste, and it is strictly prohibited to the fetus, the remains of the baby randomly discarded, placed.

There are two ways to dispose of fetal and infant remains after induced abortion: one is to hand them over to the family for proper disposal, and the other is to entrust them to the hospital for disposal, subject to the payment of a prescribed disposal fee.

Therefore, this induced abortion out of the stillbirth is relatively special, and can not be like other organs and tissues removed from the patient's body in accordance with the implementation of the disposal of medical waste, but must be dealt with in accordance with the management of human remains, give burial or cremation treatment, can not be arbitrarily discarded, placed.

In general, the tissues or organs removed from the patient's body by the hospital every day are handled in accordance with the regulations, and are not discarded at will, even if they are needed for clinical, medical teaching and scientific research, they need to obtain the consent of the family and go through the relevant procedures so that they can be used for other purposes.

Under normal circumstances, the next limb will ask the patient or the patient's family, if they want to take away to the family. If the patient or family agrees to the hospital's disposal, it is usually given incineration and harmless disposal as medical waste.

Any medical institution has a medical waste disposal system and methods, cut down any tissue and organs in accordance with the medical waste categorization to deal with, it is not possible to deal with domestic waste together.

Guo Degang has a comic is so said, he said Yu Jian was hit by a car, a look at the location of the impact is not good, have to amputate from the thigh crotch.

Took a saw, crunching the leg to cut, and then according to the size of the inverted mold to do a false leg to the installation, cut down the leg, and sent to the back of the kitchen.

It was sent to the back of the kitchen!

Of course, the joke is on you.

The comic book is just an artistic creation.

This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in the hospital for a long time and has been in the hospital for a long time and has been in the hospital for a long time.

First of all, the patient's family to deal with, if the patient has no relatives, and lazy to deal with this trouble, in the case of the patient's consent, before doing harmless treatment.

Of course not sent to the back of the kitchen or something [face]

If it is not a limb, but the surgery to pull out a large number of stones to it. I used to have a roommate like that, rolling around in pain in the middle of the night and rushed to the hospital to check for gallstones.

Then the surgery pulled out a small handful of stones, which were still bloody, and laid them out on a tray. It looked very scary.

It's hard to imagine that a person's guts can hold so many stones. The doctor even joked about taking it back as a souvenir.

Later, how these stones were handled, I don't know, I think they were thrown away as garbage.

There are also pieces of tissue and organs cut off by the surgery, which no one wants to do harmless treatment.

Only the big ones, some patients' families only put away for safekeeping.

Nowadays, people are not so superstitious as before, and believe in what the whole body, when it is a fire a burn.

Besides, it is not easy to keep the limbs at home. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it. The people who don't want it are still a lot of people.

When I worked in the operating room of the hospital, I had an operation, the amputated leg, the nurse is directly to the family.

I was working in a hospital operating room, the amputation of the leg, the nurse is directly to the families.

Each amputation surgery will strictly enforce the relevant provisions of the pre-operative declaration of surgery, because the amputation of limbs will have a greater impact on the function of the limb is a high-level surgery, the declaration of the purpose is to avoid the emergence of should not be amputated amputation of the limb, the operation should be on the bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels to carry out a proper, fine processing, so as to avoid postoperative neuroma, bleeding and other complications, for the amputated limb, all of which is a good idea, and the patient's family. The amputated limbs will be communicated with the patients and their families, if there is a will to take away the treatment, basically will let the family take away the treatment, there are cases where the patients and their families do not take away, the hospital has a strict process to deal with.

A few years ago, a cousin of mine riding a motorcycle was crushed by a dump truck, and one leg was amputated. Back to bring back home in a wooden box wrapped in quicklime .... After two years on the death, and later buried together ...... is a whole body it ...... hey quite good a talent 50 years old....

Hello, I am an anorectal doctor, many people are very curious about the postoperative cut off the tissue and organs to go, because the Chinese people pay attention to the roots of the roots, the end of the perfect, want to cut off the tissue or limbs to take back, and so on after death together.

For example, in foreign countries, some people will take the surgically cut limbs and make specimens as souvenirs. However, in the clinic did not hear that some patients want to take the cut hemorrhoids back to the collection, however, even if there we will not allow. Then on the limb of this special part of how to deal with, listen to my opinion.

Because often have to go to surgery, so in the operating room and orthopedic colleagues have more contact opportunities. There is also a better understanding of the treatment of limbs or organs after these surgeries. But many people think that the body hair of the parents, even if there is an infection or loss of function of the organs should be taken back. So can we take them home?

No, we cannot.

Because the hospital told the relatives before the high amputation that there would be no refunds. Before the operation also need to sign also need to sign a "disembodied residual limb self-processing agreement". High amputation of the body according to the standard is attributed to medical waste, the need for hospital outpatient centralized incineration, to prevent the spread of other viral infections or cause a series of criminal cases of malignant events.

There is also a special case that can not be incinerated, that is, if the limb is very special, has a teaching significance, then communicate with the family, made into a medical specimen for scientific research and teaching use. For example, the "Mirror Man" specimen, their heart is on the right side, the body organs are symmetrical direction, very clinical value.

But what if we insisted that we wanted to, or if we had a very strong family connection, could we bring it back?

No. Once the limb is removed, it is no longer part of the "person", but exists as a "thing". Generally speaking, the "thing" acquired from the body is initially owned by the owner of the body, who can realize the power of possession, use, gain, and disposal. However, if there is a mandatory provision in the law that specifically provides for the disposition of the object, that provision must be complied with. After the surgical amputation of the thigh, it is precisely the "thing" for which there is a mandatory provision in the law.

In summary, the amputated limb is treated as medical waste and incinerated harmlessly, and cannot be brought back.

But there is another custom in the countryside, which is to "eat the placenta", where they take the placenta from their own or friends' births, and make it available to the weaker members of the family.

So is it permissible to take away the placenta?

In fact, we don't recommend taking the placenta by yourself, because improper preservation and consumption is contaminated or there is the presence of germs, there will be a safety risk.

But as our country has a tradition of eating placenta, we generally do not forcefully refuse the family to take away the placenta, as long as there is no infectious disease of the maternal placenta, can be taken away by themselves.

Summary: Hospitals are basically doing harmless incineration of tissues or organs removed by surgery every day. But in the past, many Putian system hospitals will take some organs placenta to sell, this is very dangerous. In fact, it is not necessary to eat the purple river car (human placenta) to improve the body, the plant medicine ginseng, astragalus, American ginseng there are many on the market are not after the virus detection of dry purple river car, eat instead of the role of the body there are harmful effects.
