Surgery in latin is called as <em>Chirugi</em> and in the Indian context it is termed as ‘<em>Shalyatantra’</em>. Surgery is the science as well as the <em>tantra</em> or technology. Ayurveda itself believes that, it is the technology by applying the word <em>tantra</em> to it. <em>Shalyatantra</em> is not only the technology, but it is the science with firm foundations; and the procedures or interventions involve the art within it. The philosophical insights from various <em>Darshanas</em> contributed to the derivation of foundational principles. The expert of surgery is called as ‘Surgeon’ and termed as ‘<em>Shalyatantragya</em>’ by Ayurveda. A surgeon has to master not only the science and art of surgical procedure; but also the philosophy, technology alongwith the details of medicines and drugs formulations. The procedures in surgery are the techniques, which have to be mastered by means of practice and by performing multiple operations. But this is not enough to become a good surgeon. The essential conditions for the expertise in surgery are, to master upon the surgical science and philosophy and to get acquainted with the advanced technologies also. In this particular article, the interconnections among surgical science, art, philosophy and technology and their applications are being discussed with special emphasis upon the ancient text of <em>Sushruta</em>, that is, <em>Sushruta Samhita</em>. Also it has been tried to critically analyse how the guiding principles from ancient <em>Shalyatantra</em> of <em>Sushruta</em> can be contributory to the surgery of the current medical practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":"Article 101010"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143038999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
