Forensic surgery

Forensic surgery involves applying surgical skills to legal investigations, often in cases where physical evidence includes injuries or body tissues. Surgeons in this field analyze wounds, perform autopsies, and assess injuries to help determine causes of death, identify trauma, or provide evidence in criminal cases. Their work helps law enforcement understand how injuries occurred, whether intentionally inflicted or accidental, providing vital information for legal proceedings. This specialty requires a combination of surgical expertise and a detailed understanding of forensic science to ensure that evidence is accurately documented and interpreted for justice and legal purposes.
