The ancient surgical science was known as ShalyaTantra.Sushrut Samhita elaborates on Yantra and Shastras, used for various Shastra karma. Shalyas affect both Manas and Shareera; Yantras are used to remove this Shalya. Now a day’s same techniques are used for pain management. Efforts in this article are to correlate Sushrutokta Ancient Yantra with modern surgical instruments/equipment. Materials and methods: Ayurvedic and Modern Texts and Websites. Result: Many Yantras are like modern surgical Instruments in appearance, and modern ones with different names now adopt Funclikeh. Conclusion: As time progressed and new metals (like stainless steel and copper) were invented, the shape and length of instruments changed. But the aim of the instruments remains the same,i.e., the removal of Shalya.
