Sushrut was empathetically surgeon, Sushrut samhita is the only book that deal with problems of Practical surgery and midwifery. Almost all the other Samhita written by Sushrut fellow Students are either lost to us or imperfectly preserved. To Sushrut may be elevating the glory of elevating the art of a lancet to forceps to the status of practical science. It may not be out of place  here to give a short history of Ayurveda as it was practice and understood in pre saushrutic times if only to accentuate the improvements which he introduced in every branch of medical science. In Samhita it discusses blood in terms of the fourth doshic principle. This work is the first to enumerate and discuss the pitta sub-doshas and the marmas(Su.sha 6-33). With its emphasis on pitta, surgery, and blood(su.su14/44), this work best represents the transformational value of life and surgical field.Sir Harold Gillis Pioneer of Modern plastic surgery Quoted Plastic surgery is a race between beauty and Blood supply. The Sushruta Samhita was composed after Charaka Samhita, and except for some topics and their emphasis, both discuss many similar subjects such as General Principles, Pathology, Diagnosis, Anatomy, Sensorial Prognosis, Therapeutics, Pharmaceutics and Toxicology. The Sushruta Samhita, in its extant form, is divided into 186 chapters and contains descriptions of 120 illnesses,700 medicinal plants, 64 preparations from mineral sources and 57 preparations based on animal sources'''.''' Crude methods and still cruder implements of incision such as bits of glass, Bamboo skins described in Samhita, Primitive instrumentology(su.su.7/3)  which found favour to ancestor long before humanisation. Sushrut has Knowledge of practical anatomy, Sushrut devoted his whole life to pursuit surgery proper. He was the first to describe and classified different operatives Called as Ashtvidha Shastrakarma. He advised to use models before getting direct into surgery Models-Yogya(su.su.9/4). Vrana(Su.su.21/40) –complete chapter dedicated to wound. Also mentioned about Post-operative care of wound'''.''' Fractures-Bhagna( also mentioned very thoroughly and deeply. The Compendium also mentioned about Fluid evacuation from Hydrocele sac, Ascites. Intestinal perforation , intussusception , volvulus-twisted intestine Discoloured skin after operative regaining natural tone of skin even hairs too are included in 60 treatments, Bandages of wounds.

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 Bharat's workmen become known to us “Transforming an entire skin flap is also an Bharat's 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.
