Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
The present trend is very well aware of mock tests, exams and even the mock surgeries that are very common in healthcare and play an important role in providing the surgeons, the necessary practical knowledge and expertise in their specialized field. In addition, patients also get benefited by the mock surgeries by having the complete knowledge before they undergo any surgery. The same concept of mock or the experimental surgeries can be found explained centuries ago by Susrutha, father of both the Ancient and Modern surgery in the Susrutha samhitha under the chapter yogya-sutriya. Hence here, an effort was made to explore the same. Further research studies should be focused on the concept explained by Sushrutha to make it valid and applicable to the present day. The ancient surgical science is known as Salya-tantra. Salya-tantra (surgical science) embraces all processes aiming at the removal of factors responsible for producing pain or misery to the body or mind. Salya(salya-surgical instrument) denotes broken parts of an arrow /other sharp weapons while tantra denotes maneuver. 1 To obtain the complete success in the aimed operating work, practice of similar operations before hand is called yoga and the experiment of such practice is called yogya. An intelligent surgeon, who does experimental surgery methodically, does not lose his presence of mind while doing the actual operations. Therefore, he who wants to be an expert in the use of surgical operations, caustics or thermal cauterizations should practice the same experimentally on similar subjects.
