ABSTRACT

Wound means any discontinuity of skin or mucous membrane due to external injury. Skin grafting procedure is a part of plastic surgery and these techniques are gifted by Acharya Sushruta to the world. Alongwith surgical techniques, he also give solutions for achieving success in surgery. Use of plain cow`s ghrut (ghee) in skin grafting is one of them. So we studied on this topic and work done. Wound healing are the main and major problem of these days. Even new techniques of dressings, range of newer and higher broad spectrum antibiotics are available. Still there are less success rate in skin grafting surgery. So we decided to do work on this topic. Acharya Sushruta illucidated 60 methods in management of wound healing. Use of plain cow’s ghrut is the best solution for this because of it’s adhesive, soothing, lubricant and bacteriostatic properties. So we performed comperative study with Vaseline jelly which is rationally use in skin grafting surgery now a days. And we got fruitful results in this type of particular study. Plain cow’s ghrut seems more effective in skin grafting surgery to help in take off of skin graft with no infection described by Acharya Sushruta. This technique is safe, simple and inexpensive. This study is being carried out since last 18 years.
