Significance of Surgical trauma
Surgical trauma refers to physical injury or damage inflicted on tissues during surgical procedures. It can result from excessive debridement, leading to inflammation, delayed healing, and post-operative pain. Minimizing surgical trauma is a key goal across various medical fields, including general surgery, ophthalmology, and dentistry. Techniques like piezosurgery, lasers, and minimally invasive approaches are employed to reduce tissue damage, improve patient comfort, and prevent complications like CSF leaks, bacteremia, and increased blood loss.

Hindu concept of 'Surgical trauma'
In Hinduism, surgical trauma encompasses postoperative pain stemming from inflammation and nerve activation. It also includes complications from aggressive debridement, potentially causing inflammation and hindering healing, thus impacting recovery.

(1) This is a consequence of excessive debridement, potentially leading to inflammation and delayed healing, affecting the patient's recovery.[1] (2) Postoperative pain is considered a form of acute pain due to this with an inflammatory reaction, and the initiation of an afferent neuronal barrage, and it is a combined constellation of experiences.[2]
The concept of Surgical trauma in scientific sources
Surgical trauma is physical injury or damage to tissues caused by surgical procedures. Minimizing it is a key focus across various surgical fields, impacting pain, healing, and complications.
