Dobry does some "buttonholing"... When I was learning how to perform a post-mortem examination, an autopsy, I learned a new term, buttonholing. To remove the viscera, en bloc, it requires to blunt dissect the skin away from the area around the thyroid cartilage. One learns to see with their fingers, you palpate, feeling for the tiny bump that is the thyroid cartilage. Once you’ve found it, and after ligating the carotid arteries, you simply make an incision, cutting all the way through to the cervical vertebrae. In my early attempts at performing this technique, my scalpel would perforate the skin, leaving large holes for the undertaker to fix-up. Undertakers don’t like that. This faux pas is called buttonholing.
