ABSTRACT

Sandhan Karma is an age-old surgical method mentioned by Acharya Sushruta that bears a striking resemblance to contemporary plastic and reconstructive surgery. Numerous surgical diseases, their causes, classifications, prognoses and treatments thoroughly described in classic text of Ayurveda. Sushruta established a number of fundamental surgical concepts that still have an impact on contemporary procedures. The idea of Shashti-Upakrama, a collection of sixty therapeutic techniques for wound care, is one of them. Sandhana is the reunification of disparate body parts. Sandhan Karma has developed into sophisticated plastic and reconstructive surgical methods in modern medicine. Its roots lie in Sushruta's groundbreaking work in procedures like Oshtha Sandhan, Karna Sandhan and Nasasandhan. A thorough awareness of post-operative care, which is crucial for the success of any reconstructive treatment, is also shown in Sushruta's emphasis on appropriate wound healing. In order to make comparisons with contemporary plastic and reconstructive surgery, this article examines the concept of Sandhan Upakrama as described in Ayurvedic literatures.
