Seevana Karma: an Ayurvedic Review on Suturing and Its Practical Applicability

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Seevana Karma (suturing) is one of the Ashtavidha Shastra Karma described by Acharya Sushruta and remains a cornerstone of both ancient and modern surgical practice.[1] The principles of wound approximation, choice of suture material, needle design, indications, contraindications, and post-suturing care outlined in Ayurvedic classics closely parallel contemporary surgical science. This review aims to compile, analyze, and correlate classical descriptions of Seevana Karma with modern suturing techniques, highlighting its relevance and applicability in present-day surgical practice.
