Abstract: Autopsy literally means "see for yourself". It is a special surgical operation, performed by specially-trained physicians, on a dead body. Its main purpose is to learn the truth about the person's health during life, and how the person really died.
Knowledge of pathological anatomy gained from dissection can be traced to the time of Sargon I of Babylon almost 3500 BC back, who examined the liver and other organs of sacrificed animals in the attempt to predict the future, called Hepatoscopy or haruspicy.
Hippocrates (468-377 BC) emphasised that disease resulted from ‘natural cause’ and was not due to divine or supernatural origine. Autopsy became a force in pathology after 800 years of Hippocrate’s “natural theory”.
