Sushruta Saṁhitā is one of the most important classical texts of Ayurveda, especially renowned for its detailed teachings on surgery. Traditionally attributed to the ancient physician Sushruta, it is written in Sanskrit and is considered a foundational work in the history of medicine. The text presents systematic knowledge of anatomy, surgical instruments, operative procedures, and postoperative care, showing how advanced medical understanding was in ancient India.

A key feature of the Sushruta Saṁhitā is its description of Shalya Tantra—the surgical branch of Ayurveda. It outlines various surgical techniques, including incisions, excisions, suturing, and even reconstructive procedures such as nasal reconstruction, often cited as early examples of plastic surgery. The text also describes hundreds of surgical instruments and emphasizes practical training, including the use of natural models for practice before operating on patients.

Beyond surgery, Sushruta Saṁhitā covers general medicine, toxicology, trauma management, pediatrics, and eye diseases. It stresses hygiene, the importance of sterilization, and ethical conduct of physicians. The work promotes a holistic view of health that connects body, mind, diet, and lifestyle. For scholars and practitioners alike, it remains a landmark document that demonstrates both the scientific rigor and compassionate spirit of ancient Ayurvedic medicine.
