History of Surgery:

Surgery(cheirourgia, from greek “cheir” which means hands and “ergon” means work) is the branch of medicine which deals with the physical manipulation of the bodily structure to diagnose, prevent and treat an ailment. Surgery dates back to 5th and 6th century when human civilisations were developing and evolving. In India, Sushruta is considered to be the “father of surgery” and is the most celebrated person in the history of medicine and surgery, his treatise namely “sushruta samhita” which is written in sanskrit in 600 BCE includes the techniques of general surgery, palstic surgery, dentistry, bones, fractures and cataract surgery whereas in western civilisations some Asian tribes, Maasai tribe used their own ways of treating wounds and ailments present at that time. Some of the techniques used for treating diseases and ailments were trepanation, bloodletting, anesthesia and setting bones.

The Egyptians used antiseptics like honey, wine and wilow barks to stop the infection from spreading. Greeks and the Romans also used the same techniques to heal wounds and infections. During the stone age some of the people survived the head surgeries for relief from the head pressure but in the early stages surgeries were awful, life threatening and mostly untreatable after making punctures but some of them grew back the bone and survived the surgeries. Earlier, surgeries were limited to infections, wounds and bone fractures but as time passed by centuries after centuries techniques and art of surgery evolved and developed taking it to the levels we are in the present scenario, the modern medicine and surgery with every kind of possibility but at the same time with more diseases and ailments to treat for the wellness of the mankind and the human race.
