About Us Anurag Agarwal, M. Richard Maloney, M. Casey Holmes, M. Agarwal Review Dr. Maloney Review Dr. Marco Island, FL. Think again. It turns out that the roots of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures go back more than years. It's a common misconception that the "plastic" in "plastic surgery" refers to an artificial material when it actually derives from the Greek word, plastikos , meaning "to mold" or "to give form.
Charak Samhita and Ashtanga Samhita mainly deal with medicine knowledge while Sushrutaa Samhita deals mainly with surgical knowledge. Complicated surgeries such as cesarean, cataract, artificial limb, fractures, urinary stones plastic surgery, and procedures including per- and post-operative treatment along with complications written in Sushrutaa Samhita, which is considered to be a part of Atharva Veda, are surprisingly applicable even in the present time.
Sushruta is an adjective which means renowned. Sushruta is reverentially held in Hindu tradition to be a descendent of Dhanvantari, the mythological god of medicine or as one who received the knowledge from a discourse from Dhanvantari in Varanasi. Varanasi, on the bank of Ganga, is one of the holiest places in India and is also the home of Buddhism. Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical disciplines. The Sushrutaa Samhita is among the most important ancient medical treatises and is one of the fundamental texts of the medical tradition in India along with the Charak Samhita.
Sushruta is the father of surgery. If the history of science is traced back to its origin, it probably starts from an unmarked era of ancient time. Although the science of medicine and surgery has advanced by leaps and bounds today, many techniques practiced today have still been derived from the practices of the ancient Indian scholars. Sushruta has described surgery under eight heads: Chedya excision , Lekhya scarification , Vedhya puncturing , Esya exploration , Ahrya extraction , Vsraya evacuation , and Sivya suturing.
All the basic principles of surgery such as planning precision, hemostasis, and perfection find important places in Sushruta's writings on the subject. He has described various reconstructive procedures for different types of defects. His works are compiled as Sushrutaa Samhita. He describes 60 types of upkarma for treatment of wound, surgical instruments and surgical procedures, and classification of human surgeries in eight categories.
To Sushruta, health was not only a state of physical well-being but also mental, brought about and preserved by the maintenance of balanced humors, good nutrition, proper elimination of wastes, and a pleasant contented state of body and mind. For successful surgery, Sushruta induced anesthesia using intoxicants such as wine and henbane Cannabis indica. The part of the nose to which the skin is to be attached should be made raw, by cutting the nasal stump with a knife.
The physician then should place the skin on the nose and stitch the two parts swiftly, keeping the skin properly elevated, by inserting two tubes of the castor-oil plant in the position of the nostrils, so that the new nose has proper shape. The skin thus properly adjusted, it should then be sprinkled with a powder of liquorice, red sandal-wood, and barberry plant. Finally, it should be covered with cotton, and clean sesame oil should be continually applied.
When the skin has united and granulated, if the nose is too short or too long, the middle of the flap should be divided, and an endeavour made to enlarge or shorten it. Sushruta Samhita 1.
Even today pedicle forehead flap is referred to as the Indian flap. The patient who has been fed, does not faint, and he who is rendered intoxicated, does not feel the pain of the operation. Sushruta is considered to be the first surgeon to have removed cataracts, describing varieties of cataracts along with the depression method of couching by the anterior root. His interest is epidemiology and biostatistics.
In Sushruta Samhita he describes the free-graft rhinoplasty as follows: The portion of the nose to be covered should be first measured with a leaf.
