Significance of Surgical intervention
Surgical intervention encompasses a range of medical procedures aimed at repairing or treating injuries and diseases through surgery. This can include operations for severe conditions like intestinal obstruction, tissue removal, and treatment of traumatic injuries. In Ayurveda, surgical intervention specifically addresses issues like ear lobe procedures and complex conditions such as Avascular necrosis and hemorroids. Both Ayurveda and modern medicine recognize surgical intervention as essential when conservative treatments fail, ultimately highlighting its critical role in managing severe health issues.
