Sushruta An ancient Indian surgeon dating back to almost 2500 years ago, Sushruta made numerous contributions to the field of surgery. Sushruta is regarded as the father of surgery. He authored the book Sushruta Samhita in which he described over 300 surgical procedures, 120 surgical instruments and classified human surgery in eight categories. He lived, taught and practised his art on the banks of the Ganges at a place where today’s Varanasi is situated. Some of his contributions include surgical demonstration of techniques of making incisions, probing, extraction of foreign bodies, alkali and thermal cauterisation, tooth extraction, excisions, etc. He also described removal of the prostate gland, and hernia surgery, and caesarian section. He classified details of the six types of dislocations, twelve varieties of fractures and classified the bones according to their reaction to injuries. He has described about 76 signs of various eye diseases, symptoms, prognosis, medical/surgical interventions and cataract surgery. There is also description of method of stitching the intestines by using ant-heads as stitching material. He even introduced wine to minimise the pain of surgical incisions. In his Samhita, Sushruta details about 650 drugs of animal, plant, and mineral origin. Other chapters in Sushruta Samhita put emphasis 1
