Discussion
• Acharya Sushruthadescribed Vrana and Vrana Upakramas in detail. It
is easy to learn and apply the principle of saptopakrama in the
management of surgical wounds whereas Shashtiupakrama provide
us lot of option for the management of wound in different stages.
• Acharya has no where mentioned that all the 60 upakramas should be
used in all type of vrana, he has given few examples/lakshana while
explaining each upakramas and its applicability. Hence it’s the
management of vrana should be based on the yukti and avasta of the
vrana.
• Along with the local vrana chikitsa, the attention has been given on
the Vranita and his general health, which includes various systemic
treatment mentioned in the Shastiupakramas of Sushruta.
