by Lakshman Singh

The human life starts with an important phenomenon of Vrana. The healing process of Vrana is a natural process which also starts immediate after injury. Sushruta described Vrana at different places in different context. Though the pattern adopted by him is very precise and enough sufficient, but one has to observe another part of the treatise to understand the further consequence of Vrana at different places. Therefore, it is a need to simplify the concept of Vrana on different aspects and recollect it at a place. The aim of this monograph is to make the concept more simple and understandable to the students. This book will be useful for the students, surgeons and other scientist.
