Let us see one of the bright examples of Indian medical genius in the vedic era.
Intestinal Surgery
In the blocked large intestine and urinary passage-
1. Put the patient through fermentation, sweating and massaging.
2. Make a four-finger-wide incision below the navel four-finger-wide left of hair (that stretches downward from the naval)
3. Extract the intestine and check it.
4. Removing stone, hair, or faecal matter blocking the intestine of the patient
5. Smear the intestine with honey and clarified butter
6. Place the intestine in its original position, and
7. Stitch the external wound of the stomach.
Plastic Surgery of Nose
(Sushutra-samhita-Sutrasthanam 16.27,28 500BC)
I will tell exactly, the method of loaning of disjoint noise. The doctor should:
1. Take nose-sized leaf of a tree supported (on the forehead)
2. Cut the skin from the cheeks to the size of the leaf.
3. Trace on the leaf the profile of the nose and
4. Immediately join that (skin) carefully with appropriate bandage.
