Preoperative Procedure

Seevan Karma (suturing) is the closing method of surgical or traumatic wound and also last step of every operative procedure. Among these Seevan Karma of prime importance as appropriate suturing with specified thread and nee- dle leads to fast wound healing and minimized scar formation after surgery. Acharya Sushruta described the basic tents of experimental operative surgery for surgical training. The great need of such a training and describes the methods of experimental surgery using artificial objects (Non-living things) for learning the operative procedure like suturing2. In suturing or Seevan Karma using appropriate principals and instrument also describing the indica- tion, contraindication and method (Poorva Karma – preoperative procedure, Pradhan Karma- main procedure, Paschat Karma- post suturing procedure).

Physiological Reactions

Plants are not only the source of food, oxygen, and shelter, but the same are also a potential foundation of medicines. Many natural and plant-derived antimicrobial and wound healing compounds have been recognized. In the present review, we have studied the main bioactive components of Acacia catechu with their medicinal roles. Most of these bioactive components are secondary metabolites which are produced by plants as side products of certain physiological reactions and are of no use for the plant itself. These components have been reported for their medicinal properties. In this review, we have mentioned some antibacterial, antifungal, and wound healing properties of A. catechu with its known bioactive components. The aim of this review article is, to enlist the possible potent bioactive components of the plant, against pathogenic microbes that can replace the use of chemicals and synthetic antibiotics for the treatment of skin infections and other diseases.

Cassia fistula Linn. is also called a “golden shower”. It is aboriginal to India, Sri Lanka and diffused in various countries, including Mexico, China, Mauritius, East Africa, South Africa, and West Indies. Plant and its parts, such as bark, fruit, leaves, and seeds, are used traditionally to cure diseases. Traditionally the plant possesses hepatoprotective, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, leukotriene inhibition, antitussive activity, antioxidant, wound healing, hypo-lipidemia, anticancer, antidiabetic, central nervous system activity, antiulcer, antibacterial, antifertility, larvicidal and ovicidal, antifeedant, laxative, anti-epileptic, antimicrobial, urease inhibition, antifungal, anti-tobacco mosaic virus activities. The review contains botanical information, constituents and pharmacological leverages of the plant. The review draws attention towards the traditional, phytochemical and pharmacological knowledge accessible on Cassia fistula Linn, which would be beneficial for research scholars to develop novel chemical entities. This review article is written after studying most of the journal’s articles, which were published between 1998 to 2019.

Background/Aim. The most common materials implanted in the human organism are suture materials that are classified on the basis of several criteria, usually the origin, structure, and properties. The properties of suture materials are related to its absorbability and non-absorbability. When using resorbable materials it is of great importance to determine whether its absorbability and tensile strength help wound healing in function of time. Sutures themselves can become a source of inflammation, that may reduce or compromise the potential of reparation and regeneration. The aim of this experimental study on dogs was to ascertain whether the absorption rate and the degree of local tissue reactions differ from information provided by the manufacturers, whether there are differences between the applied suture materials and which of the used suture materials have better effect on wound healing. Methods. Experimental testing of the selected suture materials basic characteristics was performed on 6 German Shepherd dogs, which, after induction of general anesthesia, were made 3 identical incisions each in all 4 quadrants (left and right side of the upper and lower jaws), so that 12 horizontal incisions were formed, 10 mm long, 20-25 mm distant from one another, on each animal. Randomly, incisions were stitched up in the following order, starting from back to front: catgut, Dexon?, Vicryl-Rapid?. The experiment was terminated by histopathological examination of tissue samples, taken on postoperative day 3, 7, 14 and 21 in order to identify the effect of healing and the degree of local reaction. Results. The obtained results suggest that catgut has the highest absorption rate, while Dexon? the lowest. Vicryl-Rapid? causes the lowest level of local reactions, while Dexon? the highest. Conclusion. There is no ideal suture material because various patient factors also influence the wound healing process.

Large Wound

Introduction: A wound can be defined as the discontinuity in skin or mucus membrane. Healing is nothing but neogranulation in the depth and neo-epithelialization at the edges of the wound which ultimately results in the complete repair of such discontinuity. This case report deals with a patient of traumatic large wound at the heel who receives Unani management for wound healing. He was diagnosed as avulsion of pad of right heel with type-II diabetes mellitus. The treatment plan included mechanical debridement, cleaning with solution of alum powder (Sufuf-e-zaaj/alusol) and dressing with Marham-e-raal. The patient was advised to continue oral hypoglycemic agent with subcutaneous injection of insulin. On 85th day of treatment, the wound was healed by almost 98% and on subsequent 1st and 2nd follow up, each with a gap of 15 days, no recurrence of wound was recorded. Methodology: A male patient of traumatic wound was taken into study and given Unani management plan which included debridement, cleaning and washing with solution of Alum powder (Alusol)/ or, in Unani, Sufuf-e-zaaj and dressing of the wound with Marham-e-raal with full aseptic precautions for a period of about 3 months. Discussion: Wound healing is credited to muhallil(anti-inflammatory), daf’eta’ffun (antimicrobial), mujaffif (desiccant) and mundamil (wound healing) properties of Marham-e-raal due to presence of several phytoconstituents like camphor, linalool, borneol, cineole, terpenoids, Bergenin, Phenols and flavonoids, hopeaphenol, Oligostilbenoids, Monoterpenes, kaempferol, Quercetin and Catechin. Result: The wound completely healed at the end of 3 months with no recurrence noted on the 15th day of follow up after complete healing.

Healing Wound

Wound and its management is one of the most important basic principle of surgery. In modern surgery text wound is described in detail but first evidences are available in ancient Indian system of medicine namely Ayurveda as Vrana and Vrana Ropana (wound healing). Most of the acharyas described it in Samhitas but Sushruta described it in a complete manner which is also practically implemented in various types of wound and specially very useful in non-healing wound where modern surgery has some limitations. Hence in this review article wound management by Sushruta is focused and collected in one article which is scattered in various Adhyaya of Sushruta Samhita.
