Sushruta, revered as the "Father of Plastic Surgery," lived between 1000 and 800 BC in ancient India. His profound medical insights are encapsulated in the "Sushruta Samhita," a seminal text from the Atharvaveda, dating back to the Vedic period. This treatise stands as a monumental contribution to medical literature, demonstrating Sushruta's extensive surgical knowledge and innovative techniques, many of which remain pertinent in modern medicine. His pioneering work in plastic surgery, especially in nasal reconstruction, marks a historic milestone. The "Indian method" of cheek flap nasal reconstruction he developed showcases his ingenuity and skill. Beyond plastic surgery, Sushruta made significant contributions across various medical fields. He devised methods for managing burns, fractures, and introduced an early form of anesthesia using wine. Additionally, his work included pioneering techniques in cleft lip repair, earlobe reconstruction, and the use of unique materials like ant-heads for suturing. Sushruta's influence extended to allied fields, including embryology and systematic dissection, illustrating a holistic medical approach. His methods in fracture management, caesarean sections, and the classification of numerous diseases highlight his comprehensive understanding of medicine. The enduring legacy of Sushruta is recognized globally, symbolized by a statue at the headquarters of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, acknowledging his foundational contributions to surgery. This acknowledgment at RACS serves as a testament to his enduring impact on the medical field, cementing his status as a pioneering figure in the history of medicine.
