ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is the science of life. The science of Marma is given by physicians and surgeons of ancient Vedic period to prevent death and treat the people suffering from trauma in any type of war. However there are some narration in Ayurvedic texts which indicates the importance of Basti Marma such as Sadhyapranahara Marma, In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta describes the Marma according to surgical and anatomical point of view. The human body consists of 107 Marmas out of them 19 are Sadhya-paranahara, their involvement in homeostatic function is responsible to sustain the life of an individual. Anatomically, Basti Marma as urinary bladder and its relationship with peritoneum is also essential to consider in respect of trauma to this particular Marma in its Sadhya-pranaharatva. Any injury to Basti Marma may causes various life threating conditions such as generalized peritonitis, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, Pseudo renal failure, urinary ascites, multiple organ failure associated with spontaneous urinary bladder rupture (SBR), trauma on Basti region with SBR can causes sudden death due to hypovolemic shock, obstructive shock like pulmonary embolism, So there is a need to review the anatomical position of basti and other related delicate structures found around Basti Marma to show fatality or Sdhaya- pranaharatva in present era for future practices. Now a days blunt trauma i.e. road traffic accidents, sports injury, has become the leading cause of pelvic injury. So it is very essential to understand about the Basti Marma and traumatic effect on the urinary bladder in the light of contemporary science. In this article an attempt has been made to show its fatality or Sdaya-pranaharatva in context to peritonitis along with we will gain some knowledge related to important structures around Basti, though we can prove the surgico- anatomical importance of Basti Marma to highlight its Sadhya Pranaharatva.
