Anatomy is a vital discipline in the realm of Medicine, and its primary means of study is through the use of cadavers. Experts in the medical, legal, and ethical domains have discussed the use of cadavers or their anatomical parts for educational purposes, which are considered a severe drawback. The advantages of using cadavers include their contribution to medical education, research, the investigation of innovative surgical procedures or techniques, the detection of anatomical differences at an individual or population level, the enhancement of surgical skills, and the support of other anatomical investigations. This review highlights the issues like consent, respect for the deceased and cultural beliefs on cadaver procurement practices and also it emphasizes the need for better body donation initiatives and public awareness campaigns to ensure sustainable cadaver procurement practices, ensuring consent, respect for the deceased and cultural beliefs.
解剖学是医学领域的一门重要学科，其主要研究手段是通过使用尸体。医学、法律和伦理领域的专家已经讨论过将尸体或其解剖部位用于教育目的，这被认为是一个严重的缺陷。使用尸体的优点包括其对医学教育、研究、创新手术程序或技术的研究、个体或群体层面解剖差异的检测、手术技能的提高以及其他解剖学研究的支持。本综述强调了诸如同意、对死者的尊重以及关于尸体采购做法的文化信仰等问题，并且还强调需要更好的遗体捐赠倡议和公众意识宣传活动，以确保可持续的尸体采购做法，确保同意、对死者的尊重和文化信仰。
