Sushruta is considered the "Father of Plastic Surgery." He lived in India sometime between 1000 and 800 BC, and is responsible for the advancement of medicine in ancient India. His teaching of anatomy, pathophysiology, and therapeutic strategies were of unparalleled luminosity, especially considering his time in the historical record. He is notably famous for nasal reconstruction, which can be traced throughout the literature from his depiction within the Vedic period of Hindu medicine to the era of Tagliacozzi during Renaissance Italy to modern-day surgical practices. The primary focus of this historical review is centered on Sushruta's anatomical and surgical knowledge and his creation of the cheek flap for nasal reconstruction and its transition to the "Indian method." The influential nature of the Sushruta Samhita, the compendium documenting Sushruta's theories about medicine, is supported not only by anatomical knowledge and surgical procedural descriptions contained within its pages, but by the creative approaches that still hold true today.
苏什鲁塔被认为是“整形外科学之父”。他生活在公元前1000年至800年之间的印度，对古印度医学的发展负有责任。他在解剖学、病理生理学和治疗策略方面的教导具有无与伦比的光辉，尤其是考虑到他在历史记录中的时代。他以鼻再造术而闻名，从印度吠陀医学时期对他的描述到意大利文艺复兴时期的塔利亚科齐时代，再到现代外科手术实践，这一技术在整个文献中都有迹可循。这篇历史综述的主要重点集中在苏什鲁塔的解剖学和外科学知识，以及他为鼻再造术创造的脸颊皮瓣及其向“印度方法”的转变。《苏什鲁塔本集》记录了苏什鲁塔关于医学的理论，其影响力不仅体现在书中包含的解剖学知识和外科手术程序描述上，还体现在至今仍然适用的创新方法上。
