Abstract
Ayurveda is the oldest medical system, and anatomy is one of the oldest modalities of the medical system. An-cient Indian scientists explored essential knowledge of practical anatomy. Neither in Sushruta nor in charak is there any indication of animal dissection; they perched about human dissection only, and the yantra used in it are also specially designed for human dissection only, which are now adapted by modern with different names. Dissection is the first milestone in the journey of being a doctor. Sushruta, the great sage surgeon, philosopher and teacher of ancient India, is renowned worldwide for his contribution to surgery. His conception of surgical instruments, description of quality, methods of manufacture and usage are unique, as there were no earlier com-prehensive descriptions of similar surgical instruments by any surgeon in India and the world. Sushruta was the first surgeon in the world to describe different types of surgical instruments, including endoscopes.
