ASHTAVIDHA SHASTRA KARMA IN PRASUTI TANTRA AND STREE ROGA IN SURGICAL PRACTICES IN PRESENT ERA W.S.R. TO AYURVEDA SHALYA KARMA

Ashtavidha Shastra karmas are the procedures or steps that are always the soul of all surgery because these are the things that are generally the objectives of any surgery. With a broad vision, Ashtavidha Shastra karma may be taken as the base of modern surgery, and that may be the reason why Ayurvedic and modern surgeons still remember Acharya Sushruta. Modern Surgery was not in practice before the 18th Century. It was developed after Anesthesia & antibiotics. Ayurvedic Surgery (Shalya, Shalakya and Prasuti) was fully developed before the 10th Century. Ayurvedic Surgery declined due to Sociopolitical reasons. Ashtavidha Shastra Karma’s principles of eight basic surgical procedures are being used in day-to-day surgery, and many advancements have been made in modern surgery regarding the development of minor surgical instruments to Robotic surgery. But the principles of surgical treatment remain the same even today. In Prasuti Tantra Evum Stree Roga, shalya chikitsa involves surgical and pre-surgical interventions, and Astavidh shastra is one among them. The eight shalya karma is explained and used to treat many Prasuti Tantra Evum Stree Roga diseases. In the present scenario also, these eight shastra karma are modified and are currently used in modern surgical science for surgical disorders, through article we want to elaborate on the ashtavidha shastra karma use in Prasuti Tantra Evum Stree Roga is the same as today’s surgical procedures of modern.1
