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.
