A comprehensive study on Mrita Sharir Samshodhana in Ancient Ayurveda and Modern Science

According to Ayurveda, Maharshi Sushruta invented surgery. First Indian surgeon was Maharshi Sushruta. According to Sushruta, learning how to dissect a dead body is fundamental to become a good doctor and surgeon. Sushruta Samhita, provides a brief explanation of dissection and preservation. For preservation, understanding of acceptable preservation techniques is necessary. A dead body is more likely to be destroyed when the incorrect preservation method is used to preserve it. Acharya Charaka says that understanding Shukshama and Sthula Sharir in its whole is necessary for understanding the Sharir Rachana. It is being done to compile all available data on Ayurvedic science, including how the body is collected, where it will be kept, and how it will be conserved. The modern preservation technique differs from the Ayurveda approach.
