Abstract

In India, the first surgeon was Mahrishi Sushruta. According to ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta is credited with founding surgery. Dissecting a dead corpse is crucial, in Sushruta's opinion, to becoming the best surgeon and doctor. Sushruta briefly describes dissection and preservation in Sushruta Samhita. Understanding effective preservation techniques is essential for preservation. There are greater chances that the body will be harmed if the incorrect preservation technique is used. Shuksam and Sathul Sharir knowledge, in Acharya Charaka's opinion, are crucial for the Sharir Rachana. Theoretical knowledge acquired from the instructor and practical knowledge observed in the classes should complement one another. A concerted effort is made to compile all relevant literature on Ayurvedic science, including information on where and how the corpse is preserved. The Ayurvedic method of preservation is distinct from modern preservation techniques.

Keywords: Mahrishi Sushruta, dead body preservation, dissection, Ayurveda.
