About the Cadaver Skill Lab
The Advanced Cadaver Skill Lab at S. Nijalingappa Medical College & Hanagal Shri Kumareshwar Hospital and Research Centre is a premier surgical training facility in North Karnataka. Governed under the Department of Anatomy and backed by the century-old legacy of B.V.V. Sangha, the facility serves as a vital bridge between theoretical anatomical science and active operating theatre practice.
We provide a zero-risk, high-fidelity environment where surgical residents, fellows, and practicing consultants master surgical planes, refine instrumentation ergonomics, and cultivate muscle memory before operating on live patients.
