Foreword

It gives me immense pleasure to write the foreword of the book entitled "Surgical Essence of Sushruta Samhita" written by Prof. K.K. Thakral, who has been a teacher, researcher and administrator.

"Sushruta" the great surgeon of ancient India lived and practiced surgery around 7000 years back. He propounded and established the principles and philosophy of Surgery. His teachings on treatment of different kinds of wounds including war wounds, asepsis, antisepsis, ways of spread of infection, fractures, dislocations piles, Fistula in ano, urinary bladder stones, and caesarean section are of great importance.

He was the first person to perform rhinoplasty and repair of cut ears and so gave Plastic surgery to the world and that is why he is known as "Father of Surgery" and rightly so.

In the present times surgery has made a huge progress with the help of anaesthesia, technology and newer instruments which have made it possible to reach all the organs of the body. If analysed carefully all these developments are based on the surgical principles and philosophy as described by Sushruta.

Prof. Thakral with his vast experience has tried to bring out all those' i1ilbdrtant' facts in his book. The book contains important Shlokas with their translation both in English and Hindi which will help the-readers to understand and comprehend the subject easily. The modern day surgeons in India and abroad would also be benefited by understanding the knowledge embedded in Sushruta Samhita.

I congratulate Prof. Thakral for-this scholarly work and hope he would keep exploring the treasure of knowledge present in ancient medical books for the benefit of humanity.

Preface

I am happy to bring out this short compilation of Susruta' s verses on important topics in Surgery. It is hoped that it will help the Post Graduate students of Shalya Tantra as well as teachers to review the subject. I wish that Post Graduate Students remember these Shlokas by heart and am sure that if they do so they shall never fail in the teaching and practice of their surgical skill. Needless to mention that the compilation is by no means complete. However efforts have been made to include all important aspects. In future further improvements in arrangement of the matter and inclusion of the matter left out will be made. I have every hope that this short compilation will help the reader to have a bird's eye view of the vast treasuers of knowledge locked in our ancient Samhita and will initiate him to dive deeper in the subject to bring out new suggestions for enriching the science and practice of surgery as a whole. I owe my gratitude to my teachers (late) Dr. P.J. Deshpande, (Late) Dr. L.M. Singh, (Late) Dr. P.S. Shankaran, who always stressed for studying Sushruta Samhita.
