India has a rich legacy of surgical treatment and Sushruta Samhita stands testimony to that fact. It is a comprehensive treatise which deals with a multitude of topics ranging from education of health professionals to ethical behavior of clinicians, human anatomy, pathological basis of diseases and elaborate treatment processes. Oral and facial diseases, their treatment and descriptions of surgical instruments have astonishing comparisons to modern scientific literature. Sushruta Samhita has six sections containing 184 chapters, descriptions of 1120 diseases, 121 surgical instruments and 700 drugs.
Key words: Acharya Sashruta; Sushruta Samhita; Rhinopasty; Father of Surgery; Patron Saint of Dentistry
