IMPORTANCE OF THE DEPT. IN AYURVEDA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Core Surgical Expertise in Ayurveda: Shalya Tantra is the branch of Ayurveda that specifically focuses on surgical interventions, making it an essential part of the Ayurvedic healthcare system. It addresses a wide range of surgical conditions, from trauma and infections to chronic diseases like haemorrhoids, fistulas, and hernias, offering a comprehensive approach to surgical care.

Integration of Ancient and Modern Surgical Practices: This Department plays a crucial role in merging traditional Ayurvedic surgical knowledge with contemporary medical practices. This integrated approach allows for more effective and safer surgical procedures, preserving the wisdom of ancient Ayurveda while incorporating modern advancements in medical technology.

Holistic Healing Approach: The department emphasizes not only the surgical treatment but also the holistic care of the patient. This includes pre-surgical preparations (such as detoxification), personalized post-operative care, and the use of Ayurvedic herbs and therapies to promote natural healing, ensuring a balanced recovery process for the body, mind and soul.

Patient-Centred Care: Shalya Tantra promotes a more personalized approach to surgery by considering an individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti), imbalances (Vikriti), and lifestyle factors. This personalized care improves surgical outcomes and reduces the risk of complications.

Minimally Invasive and Natural Techniques: The department focuses on minimizing the invasiveness of surgical procedures, using kshara sutra and kshara karma that reduce trauma to the tissues and encourage faster recovery.

Treatment of Chronic and Complex Conditions: Shalya Tantra is instrumental in treating conditions that may not be effectively managed through conventional medicine alone, such as chronic wounds, fistulas, and certain types of tumors. Ayurvedic surgical techniques help address the root causes of such conditions, leading to long-term relief and healing.

Cost-Effective Care: Ayurvedic surgical treatments often involve the use of locally available herbs and materials, making them more affordable and accessible, especially in rural or underdeveloped areas. This provides an inclusive healthcare option for a larger population.

Ethical and Compassionate Care: Shalya Tantra incorporates Ayurvedic principles of empathy, compassion, and ethical conduct in surgical practices. Surgeons are trained to not only perform procedures with technical skill but also to understand the emotional and mental well-being of the patient, fostering a compassionate healthcare environment.

Instant Pain management: Department of Shalya tantra incorporates treatment modalities which instantly reduce pain in conditions like sciatica, cervical spondylosis, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder with the help of Agnikarma, Siravyadha, Viddhakarma and other anushalya procedures along with lepa, pariseka, upanaha, bandaging etc.

It should comprise of title, abstract (limiting to 100-150words) 4-5 keywords, Introduction with brief review of literature, case description (should be in chronological order and should contain current medical condition, relevant  family history, physical examination,  laboratory and diagnostic procedure findings, detailed treatment protocols, differential diagnosis, assessment criteria , follow up, final diagnosis etc.), discussion, conclusion, limitations, if any and references.  The following link can be utilised for seeking guidelines writing the case report:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29184619/
