Introduction: Cadaveric dissection remains the most powerful tool to teach and learn anatomy in clinical and surgical specialities. It helps to visualize the structures and their relations in a three dimensional view. This knowledge collected will bring about innovations and strengthen the anatomical basis for clinical and surgical module. Objective: To modify steps of dissection in region of axilla that allows exposure of other contents of axilla more clearly. Material and method: dissection technique was performed on the embalmed cadaver given to first year MBBS students. Result: The students were able to visualize the relations and identify the structures in the axilla better. Conclusion: The application of modified technique helped the students to learn anatomy with more clear understanding and also provides an opportunity to innovate clinical or surgical modules
