| | Sushruta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sushruta was an ancient Indian surgeon (datable to between the 2nd century BCE and about the 2nd century CE) and is the author of the book Sushruta Samhita, in which he describes over 120 surgical instruments, 300 surgical procedures and classifies human surgery in 8 categories. | | | In the Sushruta school, the first person to expound Āyurvedic knowledge was Dhanvantari who then taught it to Divodasa who, in turn, taught it to Sushruta, Aupadhenava, Aurabhra, Paushakalāvata, Gopurarakshita, and Bhoja. | | | He is credited with performing cosmetic surgery and especially with using forehead skin to reconstruct noses which were amputated as a punishment for crimes in his era. |

| | Sushruta himself offered his treatise for the scrutiny by the learned colleagues and even described as many as 32 criteria on how to assess his own as well as other treatise. | | | Sushruta had dissected human bodies and described the bones, muscles and internal organs in considerable detail. | | | Lord Dhanwantari (Sushruta's Preceptor), the father figure of Indian surgery and also the king of Kashi (Benaras), a city in northern India, was to Indian Medicine, what Aesculapus was to Greek Medicine. |

| | This is not surprising as needles used on the human body relate to surgery and not to herbal or other therapies like massage. | | | The 107 Marmas described in Sushruta Samhita are the topographical points of internal vital organs situated in the outer body parts of extremities, abdomen, chest, back and head so these are not only the tissues which are thought previously to be saved during surgical operations. | | | According to Sushruta, an uninterrupted flow of tejobhut Param Sukshma Ras-Pran (which is ultramicroscopic living factor observed by electronic instruments and called qi in Chinese) is responsible for good health and any obstacle in the circulation results in disease. |

| | The Sushruta Samhita is acknowledged as one of the greatest of its kind in Sanskrit literature; and, is especially important from the surgical point of view (Sarton). | | | For example, anatomy was included in the teaching of surgery; embryology formed a part of training in pediatric and obstetrics; and, the knowledge of physiology and pathology was interwoven in the teaching of all the clinical disciplines, particularly the internal medicine. | | | Sushruta, even though he does not attach significance to the brain, however, considers head as the centre of all special senses and describes certain cranial nerves connected with specific sensory functions. |

| | India’s Medical Legacy: Speech by Dr. M.S. Valiathan |
| | Sushruta explicitly differed from the ‘followers of the Vedic School’ in enumerating and describing the bones of the body. | | | The foundational texts of Ayurveda are the Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas which follow the medical and surgical traditions of Atreya and Dhanwantari. | | | For the surgical aspirant, Sushruta described a whole series of experimental procedures in plants, trees, fruits, dead animals, cadaver etc., that stimulated incision, excision, suturing, tapping, etc. On the completion of training the candidate was obliged to obtain royal permission for starting independent practice. |
