Abstract

Cesarean delivery is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions on the abdomen and uterus. Infection rates after Csections range from 3–16%. There are many factors which influence the wound healing like age, nutrition, co-morbid conditions, place and position of wound, blood supply to the area exposure etc. But involvement of infection will not allow the wound to heal and convert it into Dushta Vrana. Any discontinuity in the skin is known as Vrana. Acharya sushruta has described 60 upakramas in the management of vrana. Among sixty Upakramas local application of medicated oil (use of Taila) is one of most important Upakramas. The present case report shows 32 years female operated for Cesarean section & then wound get infected with pus discharge and gapping. For such an infected postcesarean wound (dushta vrana), We used jatyadi taila pichu which shows vrana shodhana and Ropana property. These method were proven effective.
