Significance of Surgical technique
Surgical technique, as explored in both Ayurveda and modern science, encompasses various methodologies for performing surgeries, such as incisions, suturing, and specific medical procedures. In Ayurveda, the Sushruta Samhita extensively documents these techniques, highlighting practices like cauterization and bone-setting from the Vedic era. Modern science elaborates on surgical techniques by detailing methods that affect postoperative outcomes, such as incision and excision procedures for various conditions. Overall, surgical techniques are critical for achieving effective treatment outcomes across medical disciplines.
