Summary: Sushruta, an ancient surgeon from 600 BCE in Kashi, India, is a pioneering figure in medical history. His innovations in surgical techniques, predating Hippocrates and Galen, have left an indelible mark in the field. This review article focuses on Sushruta’s contributions to surgery, particularly his foundational work in plastic and reconstructive procedures. We delve into the Sushruta Samhita, the oldest surgical text, covering essential principles, pathology, anatomy, and surgical management. Sushruta’s approach emphasized cleanliness, cadaver dissection, and innovative practices in anesthesia. Our article underscores the enduring impact of Sushruta’s work on modern surgical science.
