    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The University of Innsbruck possesses a unique prehistoric, completely conserved 5300-year-old human cadaver. We report our experiences during which ENT specialists collected samples from various cavities inside the Iceman. Guidance of biopsy instruments was accomplished with computer-assisted navigation based on Interventional Video Tomography. This technology allows surgical guidance by interlinking currently available imaging modalities with live endoscopic video. The system operates without patient fixation and is practically free of external contact. Apart from sterility, special precautionary measures were necessary to avoid contamination with heavy metals or microorganisms. Visual inspection of the samples of mucosa from the nose, maxillary sinus and larynx revealed the typical patterns of a human cadaver without overt pathology.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Universität Innsbruck bewahrt einen einzigartigen prähistorischen Fund: eine vollständige, erstaunlich gut erhaltene 5300 Jahre alte Gletscherleiche. Wir berichten über die Gewinnung menschlicher archäologischer Gewebeproben unter Verwendung modernster minimal-invasiver computerunterstützter 3D-Navigationstechniken. Neben Erfüllung der üblichen hygienischen Standards mußte in diesem Spezialfall eine Kontamination des Eismannes mit Schwermetallen, Partikeln, oder Teilen von Mikroorganismen vermieden werden. In dem Eingriff wurden Proben aus der Nasenschleimhaut, der Kieferhöhle und dem Larynx gewonnen. Eine klinische Beurteilung durch den Operateur zeigte – trotz ihres Alters – eine typische, gesunde humane Kadaverschleimhaut.
