"The book titled "Surgical Anatomy in Ayurveda" has been documented with specific vision and object to explore all relevant anatomy of human body which is involved in any type of injury or disease due to infection, degeneration, exhaustive disease, bony fracture and regional weakness due to neurological deficit. First the normal picture and thereafter the abnormal picture of anatomy described in the book will prove very useful for a physician and surgeon who wishes to understand structural values especially in reference to surgical anatomy. Minds of modern anatomists and surgeons baffle them when they go through the applied and surgical importance of Anatomy discussed in Ayurved books. Ocean of knowledge has been made available through this book which may give new guidelines towards performing surgery successfully. 

Ayurvedic physicians, surgeons and scholars will feel benefitted by reading this book and will give an opportunity for looking upon the new areas of thrust for research in their respective disciplines." (jacket)
