Abstract

Acharya Sushruta is credited with inventing the notion of Trividha Karma and mentioned Trividha Chikitsha Karma in Agropharniya Adhyaya viz; - Poorva Karma, Pradhana Karma, and Paschata Karma. Poorva Karma is derived from the words Poorva (foremost) and Karma (action). In the Ayurvedic tradition, there are two methods of treatment for all diseases: Aushadhi Chikitsa or Shastra Chikitsa. In Shayla Tantra, there are descriptions of Yanta, Shastra, Kshara, and Agni Karmas for performing Shayla Karma (surgical and para surgical procedure), but Poorva Karma should be given importance in any surgical treatment, and this Poorva Karma is recognized as pre-operative care. Poorva Karma is crucial to a successful and complication-free operation.
