A wound has six root causes, and eight primary locations, characterized by signs of five, prescribed with sixty therapeutic measures and management by four limbs of treatment. The aesthetic management of wounds and scars has been an extensive concept from ancient days to the current surgical practice. Ayurveda is elemental in boundless cosmetic measures for people spanning centuries, with the idea of vaikritapaham commending wound management in the branch of Shalya Tantra. This study aimed to explore the concept of vaikritapaham, managing scar and granulation issues in Ayurveda. The method followed for this review was a thorough analysis of brihatrayees and their commentaries and reference from various research articles on scar management in Ayurveda. It was found that in Sushruta Samhita, the concept of vaikritapaham as the anti-scar measure is mentioned in sapta upakrama of vrana-sopha and various concepts like Utsadana and avasadana for stimulating and depressing granulation, mrdukarma and darunakarma for hardening and softening the woundksarakarma for improper granulation, krsnakarma, pandukarma and pratisarana for discolouration of the skin, romasanjanana and lomapaharana for repilatory and depilatory measures respectively have been mentioned in shasti upakrama of Vrana.

Panchkarma is a part of Kayachikitsa with a fivefold cleansing or detoxification process, which includes Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Raktamokshana, and Nasya. These fivefold Shodhana karmas exert their efficacy by influencing different doshas or adhisthana and expelling them through the nearest exit source. Although the field of Panchkarma comes under Kayachikitsa, there are several mentions of the extensive use of Panchkarma in all branches of Ashtanga Ayurveda. For example, Shalya tantra is one of the crucial branches of Ashtanga Ayurveda which specifically focuses on the process of Shalya (foreign body) extraction. In contrast, Acharaya Sushruta mentions using Panchkarma as purva karma for different surgical processes. Like any other Nidana (etiological factor), Shalya also acts as a nidana by vitiating doshas according to its location, nature or kala (period). The study's primary aim is to do a comprehensive review of Panchkarma procedures mentioned in surgical diseases covering all references and studies. Research is conducted by searching various classical texts and databases to fulfil the objective. Along with its application in surgical diseases, this article also highlights the application of Panchkarma in emergency conditions. In this article, all Panchkarma processes mentioned in surgical diseases are explained, and a table is made for reviewing it easily. Thus, this review will focus on the Panchkarma process mentioned in Shalya Tantra and the need for extensive research in this field, as most procedures still need to be explored.
