Kidney is one of the most important parts of our body and having a kidney stone is actually a very severe problem. Due to advancement in medical science today there are various ways to conduct kidney stone removal. Let us see how our ancient Indian rishis were conducting kidney stone removal long long ago.........
Given below is a slokha from Sushutra-samhita- chikitsasthanam 7.33 (500 BC) and its translation:
Then employ the needle on the left side leaving
out only a grain of space. Some say, for the convenience of operation, employ
the knife on the right side leaving out bladder-stone size space. Attempt such
that it (the bladder stone ) is not broken or powdered. Even if a small
quantity of particle remains, it would again grow. Therefore, remove entirely
with a curved forceps.
