Sushruta (Sanskrit: सुश्रुत, lit. 'well heard', IAST: Suśruta[3]) is the listed author of the Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta's Compendium), a treatise considered to be one of the most important surviving ancient treatises on medicine and is considered a foundational text of Ayurveda.[4] The treatise addresses all aspects of general medicine, but the impressive chapters on surgery have led to the false impression that this is its main topic. The translator G. D. Singhal dubbed Suśruta "the father of plastic surgery" on account of these detailed accounts of surgery.[5][6][7][8]
It is generally accepted by scholars that there were several ancient authors collectively called "Suśruta" who contributed to this text.[9]
The Compendium of Suśruta locates its author in Varanasi, India.[10]
