Es función de un equipo, del cual el médico forense es parte obligatoria. El conocimiento de las circunstancias y antecedentes del hecho investigado, junto con el estudio del lugar y del cadáver, constituyen elementos indispensables para el correcto abordaje del cuerpo en la necropsia; de esta manera, se cumplirá con el objetivo primordial del trabajo pericial médico forense: contribuir al esclarecimiento de la comisión de un hecho delictivo con resultado de muerte. En este artículo se ofrece una actualización del tema de la participación del médico forense en la escena del crimen, considerando la realidad de la práctica pericial médico legal en Panamá.]]></p></abstract>

It is a function of a team, of which the forensic physician is an indispensable part. Knowledge of the circumstances and background of the researched fact, together with the study of the place and the corpse, constitute essential elements for the correct approach to the body at postmortem examination; in this way, the primary objective of the forensic medical expert work: contribute to the elucidation of the commission of a criminal act resulting in death, will be accomplished.
