Language-I(Eng)
Directions (Q. 91-99); Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.
The first detailed description of plastic surgical procedures is found in the clinical text on Indian surgery, the Sushruta Samhita, which incorporates the details of surgical tools and operative techniques. Sushruta wrote based on the lectures of his teacher, the famous surgeon king, Bevadas. He taught his pupils to try their knives first on natural as well as artificial objects resembling diseased parts of the body before undertaking actual operations. It is interesting to note that modern surgery stresses so much upon simulation, models, and cadaver training before the actual performance to increase and improve patient safety. He stressed on both theoretical and practical training and had famously remarked once: “The physician who has only the book of knowledge (Sastras) but is unacquainted with the practical methods of treatment or who knows the practical details of the treatment but from self-confidence does not study the books is unfit to practice his calling” Sushruta considered surgery to be the most important branch of all the healing arts, and he had performed and described in detail several complicated operations. These include operations for intestinal obstruction, hernia repairs, bladder stone, but more importantly, several plastic surgical operations, including those for the cleft lip and nose reshaping which are performed virtually unchanged even today from his descriptions about 3000 years ago!
