Preface Over the time, while teaching the students of shalya tanatra, I realized that none of the currently available syllabus text book covers the syllabus of both Ayurveda and modern shalya tantra. Most of the modern surgery books are written with an orientation for the developed countries.

Being constantly insisted by my favourite students, I ultimately decided to write a comprehensive text book of shalya tantra. It is an effort to provide an easy and practically oriented complete text book to the students. A textbook should be easy to read and it should be short enough to be completed in a few days, that's why this book is written in very easy language and I haven't attempted to provide an encyclopaedia of surgery. I intentionally limit the length of each section, so that it can reasonably be readable.

Efforts have been made to simplify the concepts of shalya tantra by modern correlations and scientific clarifications.

Present book is based on CCIM new syllabus of under graduation. In this book I have tried to approach of incorporating both Ayurveda as well as the modern outlook of every possible surgical condition and latest advances of modern surgical practice.

This book is primarily for the undergraduates but should be helpful for post-graduate scholars. I never consider that this is an ideal textbook of shalya tantra but an effort has been made to break the mould.
