Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Mahrishi Sushruta was an ancient surgeon (who was possibly born in 2nd century BC) and he was the author of the book Sushruta Samhita. According to Susruta to become a best physician & surgeon, the dissection of the dead body is very necessary. Preservation of dead body with a good method is necessary for dissection. According to Ayurveda Sushruta was the father of Surgery. Dissection and preservation described by Sushruta in Sushruta Samhita is in brief. According to Acharya Charaka, knowledge of Shuksam and SathulShariris are very necessary for the Sharir Rachana. The theoretical knowledge learnt from the teacher & amp; observed in the practical classes should be supplementary to each other. An effort is made by collecting all available literatures in the Ayurvedic science, how the body is collected, where it will be preserved and methods of preservation etc. Modern preservation method is different from the Ayurvedic method of preservation.
