About Suśruta

Suśruta was an ancient Indian physician and surgeon, who made significant contributions to the field of plastic and cataract surgery. He is widely considered "the father of plastic surgery" and is credited with developing the method of reconstructive rhinoplasty, historically known as the "Indian method". He was the author of the Suśruta Saṃhitā, considered to be one of the most important surviving ancient treatises on medicine. It is also considered a foundational text of Ayurveda. The treatise addresses all aspects of general medicine, including diet, surgery, nosology, anatomy, developmental biology, therapeutics, toxicology, paediatrics and other subjects. The inclusion of particularly impressive and historically important chapters on surgery has wrongly led some to believe that this is the work's primary focus. The treatise consists of 186 chapters.
