Language: English
Pages: 270 (Illustrated Throughout In B/W)


Preface

Many valuable versions are available in Ayurvedic text concerning common surgical problems faced by a man right from his birth till death. An Ayurvedic surgeon should known the anatomical changes which follow as a sequele of any congenital disorder, post natal infections or trauma in the form of Surgical disease. He should also know the structural, physiological or pathological changes which take place at the anatomical and physiological level. Uptill now no such attempt has been made to prepare an original manuscript which gives valuable and independent information to an undergraduate or post graduate scholar undergoing speciality in “Shalya – Shalakya” (surgery and E.N.T. diseases) or Sharir. Thus authors felt urgent need for writing such a book which tells anatomical facts of practical surgical value to the students and practitioners of Ayurveda.

While going through the book readers may feel that some of the topics dealt are only of academic importance, yet an attempt has been made to provide valuable information concerning Sharir Rachna (Anatomy) of clinical and practical value. While preparing the text of book authors have referred very authentic versions chosen from Ayurvedic texts particularly from charak, sushrut and vagbhat.

The textual quotations may apparently look conceptual yet they are of great importance to surgeons of ayurveda who have established basic foundations of all surgical methods while dealing with diseases like Asthi Bhagna (fractures), Sira-Vedh (Venupuncture), Arsh (Piles), Bhagandar (Ano rectal fistula), Gastrointestinal or thoracic problems, Shalya karma (Operative Procedures), Kshudra Roga or Shalya Shalakya.
