Mahrishi Sushruta was an ancient surgeon (who was possibly born in 2th century BC) and he was the author of the book Sushruta Samhita. According to Shusrutha to become a best physician & surgeon the dissection of the dead body is very necessary. For dissection of the dead body preservation with a good method is necessary. According to Ayurveda Sushruta was the father of Surgery. Dissection and preservation described by Sushruta in Sushruta Samhita in brief. According to Acharya Charaka knowledge of Shuksam and Sathul Sharir is very necessary for the Sharir Rachana. The theoretical knowledge learnt from the teacher & 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 preservation, method of preservation etc. Modern preservation method is different from the Ayurvedic method of preservation.
