The most popular treatment in ano-rectal diseases '''''Kshar Sutra,''''' ''it'' is a medicated thread (seton) coated with herbal Alkaline drugs like Apamarga (''Kshar'') (Ash of ''Achyranthus ascera''), Snuhi (''Euphorbia nerufolia'') latex and Haridra (''Curcuma longa'') powder in a specific order. This combination of medicines on the thread helps in debridement and lysis of tissues, exerts antifungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Another mechanism proposed for the ''Kshara Sutra''is that it destroys the residual glands in the epithelium.The whole plastic Surgery in Europe took a new flight when these cunning devises of Indian workmen become known to us “Transforming an entire skin flap is also an Indian method. It is Sushrut who first successfully demonstrated the feasibility of mending a clipped ear lobe with a patch of sensible skin flap or Scrape from the neck of adjoining part. Of the 76 verities of the ophthalmic diseases amongst them 51 are surgical. The mode of operation which is to be performed in each case has been elaborately described in the Samhita. And does not unfavourably compare in most instances with modern methods of ophthalmic surgeries. Sushrut is attributed the glory of discovering the art of cataract crouching which was unknown to the surgeons of ancient Greece and Egypt. Amputations were freely made. Sushrut does not rest content the mere bursting and opening an abscess and the healing of incidental wound but lays down the process of for major operations as well. The removal of the cicatrices until it becomes the same colour with the surrounding skin and the growth of the hair there on are suggestion which we find nowhere else. It is in the region of practical midwifery that one become so much impressed with the greatness of Sushrut. Different turning, flexing, gliding movement. Applications of the forceps in cases of difficult labour and other obstetric operations involving destruction and mutilation of child evolve in samhita such as craniotomy etc. Mentioned about Fumigation and sterilization technics of Sutika agar- labour room. ''Marma'' consists of aggregate of ''Mamsa'', ''Sira'', ''Snayu'', ''Asthi'' and ''Sandhi'' in which particularly ''Prana'' by nature stays. That which leads to death or which gives misery to individual similar to death when injured is called ''Marma''. ''They'' are that part of the body which exhibits a peculiar sensation or unusual throbbing and causing pain on pressure. ''Marmas'' are so called because they cause death when they are injured and they are meeting place of ''Mamsa'', ''Asthi'', ''Snayu'', ''Dhamani'', ''Sira'', ''Sandhi'' and life entirely resides in them.
