Susrta's Contribution  to Surgery with Special Reference to Plastic Surgery

Abstract
Susrta, a great ancient Surgeon, who is regarded as father of the Surgery, designed surgical equipment with innovative vision, which laid basis for many advanced technologies in this field. He described many surgical procedures, out of which the Karna Sandhanavidhi (reconstruction of the auricular defects) otoplasty, Nasika Sandhanavidhi (reconstruction of an amputated nose_- Rhinoplasty and Osta Sandhanavidhi (Lip repair)- Cleft lip with a pedicle flap from the cheek, are regarded as master innovations by the world. This technique of reconstruction was practised since centuries, when this technique was noted by the English physician of 17-18th century it was known as " Indian method of reconstructive surgery". Many modern plastic surgical procedures have their roots in the ancient times with early practitioners of India and developed the surgical procedures of Plastic Surgery, Reconstructive Surgery and Aesthetic Surgry.
