Ayurveda Approaches of Shalya Tantra W.S.R. to the Therapeutic Importance of Pradhan Karma
Abstract
The Ayurveda philosopher Sushruta; divided surgical actions into three main sections: pre-operative, operative, and post-operative procedures. Pre-operative technique (Purva Karma) involves the necessary preparations before surgical intervention. The main operative method means Pradhan Karma encompasses primary surgical procedure, while the post-operative technique described as Pashchat karma which outlines the measures to be taken after the operation until the patient received complete relief from the ailments. In every surgery, these three aspects (Purva Karma, Pradhan Karma and Pashchat karma) are of utmost importance. Each of these steps plays a vital role in the success of the surgery and significantly influences the patient's disease prognosis. Pradhan Karma is primary surgical procedure which involves surgical approaches like Chedhana, Bhedhana, Lehana, Eshana, Aaharana, Vedhana, Visravana and Seevana. Present article summarizes Ayurveda approaches of Shalya Tantra W.S.R. to the therapeutic importance of Pradhan Karma.
