Ok Thanks for that, Yuri.
Yuri Smirnov Dec 22, 2005:
Yes, seem really to be the surface parts. And "�������" here means cut open, opened up.
Shane London (asker) Dec 22, 2005:
Peter and Yuri, the following is the full context of my question, which is what I should have provided in the first place: ���� �������, �������������� ����������� ����� ������� � ���� ������, ����� ����� ���� 5% ���������-���������� ��������. It's a section in which various words were crossed out so it was very messy. Also I took ������� to mean 'unsealed' meaning they unwrapped the body but perhaps it means the body is opened up? I think this fuller context does make it look like 'surface parts' is what is intended and not 'facial parts' judging by Yuri's quote of the process.
Shane London (asker) Dec 20, 2005:
Hi Peter. At this stage I'm actually not sure. I will have to have a good think about this and do some more research. It's a pity language is so ambiguous. My Oxford Russian-English dictionary gives 'facial' first and then 'exterior' as meanings for 'litsevoi'
Peter Shortall Dec 20, 2005:
Oh, I see. I suggested that because you said that chemicals are being introduced into the abdominal cavity "as well as" the "litsevye chasti", but now you mention it, if it meant that I suppose another word might have been used in the original.
Shane London (asker) Dec 20, 2005:
Hello Yuri. It looks like it might be 'surface parts' or 'exterior parts'. I can't find any reference to embalming fluid being injected through the facial cavities or parts.

facial (face) parts

Although the search engines seem to tie "лицевые части" up only with gas masks :-( , I think the logic itself hints us that this is it, you're right.

Sorry, I change my opinion. This must be "surface parts". Look here:

The actual embalming process usually involves four parts:

arterial embalming, which involves the injection of embalming chemicals into the blood vessels, usually via the right common carotid artery. Blood is drained from the right jugular vein. The embalming solution is injected using an embalming machine and the embalmer massages the corpse to ensure a proper distribution of the embalming fluid. In case of poor circulation, other injection points are used;
cavity embalming, the suction of the internal fluids of the corpse and the injection of embalming chemicals into body cavities, using an aspirator and trocar. The embalmer makes a small incision just above the navel and pushes the trocar in the chest and stomach cavities to puncture the hollow organs and aspirate their contents. He then fills the cavities with concentrated chemicals. The incision is either sutured closed or a "trocar button" is screwed into place.
hypodermic embalming, the injection of embalming chemicals under the skin as needed; and
surface embalming, which supplements the other methods, especially for visible, injured body parts.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for the contributions. It does seem that 'surface parts' is the correct answer. The original confusion was caused by my not supplying sufficient context. "

facial cavities/orifices

What a macabre text you have there! Given what happens during embalming, I think the likelihood it is talking about the face, but I would think chemicals/fluids can only be pumped in through the holes! (i.e. ears, nose, mouth... can't think of any others off hand!)

Sorry, that should have read "likelihood is that it..."
