    methods by which this part of the examination may be best accomplished will be subsequently described when the examination of the respec- tive viscera is under consideration. Removal of Organs.—In order to satisfactorily investigate the various organs it is generally necessary to remove them from the body. This is often done separately. Not infrequently it is well to take them in association. Thus in con- nection with such lesions as mediastinal growth, intra-thoracic aneurysm, and oesophageal cancer, it is best to take the whole of the thoracic organs together, leaving their separation from each other until their exact relationship shall have been made out. Sometimes, especially in poisoning cases, it is well to take out the whole of the gastro-intestinal tract without separating it from the oesophagus. In many genito-urinary affections the parts are best removed together.
