Cadaveric Skill Lab: An Advanced Training Tool

"No accurate account of any part of the body, including even its skin, can be rendered without the knowledge of anatomy. Hence anyone, who wishes to acquire a thorough knowledge of anatomy must prepare a dead body, and carefully examine all its parts"-Sushruta Samhita (600 BC) [1]. Human anatomy is one of the basic essential sciences of medicine [2]. Anatomy is a “visual science”. More we see, better we understand. More we dissect, better we remember. The history of anatomy is characterized by a progressive understanding of the functions of the organs and structures of the human body. Human anatomy is an important part of the medical curriculum. Cadaveric dissection is an excellent method for learning anatomy. Cadaver dissection is the nearest simulation to the surgical procedures. It helps in intellectual changeover from cadaveric lab to operation theatre.
