Instructional Videotape/DVD The Registry has produced an instructional 20-minute Videotape and DVD titled Techniques For Temporal Bone Removal, which demonstrates the correct method for removing temporal bones and related brain tissue from donors. It is meant for otolaryngologists, pathologists and related professionals who have not had prior hands-on training in these techniques but are on-site postmortem. The DVD is also useful for funeral directors and embalmers who interact with physicians and procurement of donated tissues. The DVD also provides an overview of the rationale for temporal bone study and an explanation of the importance of collaboration amongst professional personnel such as primary care physicians, otolaryngologists, pathologists and funeral directors to ensure successful procurement of donated tissues. The DVD is accompanied by a scientific article, Techniques For Human Temporal Bone Removal (Nadol et al 1996) which appeared in the October 1996 issue of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (download PDF article) To obtain copies of the video tape/DVD at no charge.
