The three conventional methods of incision have few drawbacks especially when we have to detect any injury in the back of the body. Without any colour changes in the skin externally or in cases of burn where any colour change in skin cannot be determined, there may be hidden injuries on the back, which can be thoroughly visualized by using the fourth incision, i. e., the cosmetic autopsy incision.
One of the advantages while using the cosmetic autopsy incision is that the long and prominent stitch mark in front of the body is not there in this incision.
