Summary of article contents:
Sandhan karma as described by Acharya Sushruta is a very old science which can becompared with the plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery in recent times. It is however very difficult to say when the first reconstructive operation on mankind was performed. Sushruta Samhita , which describes the ancient tradition of surgery in India, contains detailed descriptions of teachings and practice of the great ancient surgeon Acharya Sushruta . He has written about all the surgical diseases, their causes, types, prognosis and treatment, especially about the wounds. There are several Siddhanta or basic principles of Sushruta which are at the root oftoday’s surgery. Shashti - Upakrama is one among these principles. Shashti - Upakrama is thesixty types of treatment described for wound. Sandhan - Upakrama is one of them. Dalhana described the term Sandhana as unions of organs which are separated due to injury or trauma in his commentary. Today Sandhan is at its advanced position in the form of plastic and reconstructive surgery. But originally it was initiated with the Rhinoplasty operation performed by Sushruta called as Nasasandhan . Besides this, Sushruta has also performed KarnaSandhan (lobuloplasty) and Oshtha Sandhan . The aim of the study is to review the Sandhan - Upakram in historical(vedic) and ayurvedic texts and compare it with the present era’s plastic andreconstructive surgery.
