The practice of medical and surgical measures in the management of urological ailments prevailed in ancient India from the Vedic era around 3000 BC. Subsequently in the Samhita period, the two stalwarts - Charaka in medicine and Susruta in surgery elevated the art of medicine in India to unprecedented heights. Their elaboration of the etiopathological hypothesis and the medical and surgical treatments of various urological disorders of unparalleled ingenuity still remain valid to some extent in our contemporary understanding. The new generation of accomplished Indian urologists should humbly venerate the legacy of the illustrious pioneers in urology of our motherland.
从公元前3000年左右的吠陀时代起，印度古代就盛行采用医学和外科手段来治疗泌尿系统疾病。随后在《本集》时期，两位杰出人物——医学领域的阇罗迦和外科领域的妙闻，将印度的医学技艺提升到了前所未有的高度。他们对病因病理假说以及各种泌尿系统疾病的医学和外科治疗方法的精妙阐述，在我们当代的认知中，在某种程度上仍然有效。新一代有成就的印度泌尿科医生应该谦逊地敬仰我们祖国泌尿科杰出先驱们的遗产。
