Looking Back - History of Plastic Surgery in India
Rana RE, Arora BS
Abstract
The earliest replantations were done by Lord Shiva by attaching an elephant's head on his son's body and by Ashwini Kumars who successfully replanted the severed head of Yagna. Thus the history of plastic surgery in India dates as far back or before the Vedic times nearly 4000 years ago.
