Shalya Chikitsa is one of the important branches of Ayurveda. Shalya Tantra possesses great utility for the management of many medical emergencies where minor or major surgical intervention needed. The gynecological problems many times need special surgical interventions therefore it is required to explore the role of  Shalya Chikitsa in Prasuti Tantra and Stree Roga. Anushastra Karma or Parasurgical procedures means surgical procedure performed by non-surgical items or in absence of surgical instruments. Acharya Sushruta has described 60 upkrama, 25 upyantra and 14 Anushastra for the management of wound in different conditions. Shasti upkrama includes kshara karma, agni karma and uttar basti etc. Regarding Stree roga  Kshar karma, Uttar Basti karma are quite popular due to its excellent result and no adverse effect if followed properly. These parasurgical procedures are simple and no sophisticated instruments, devices, anaesthesia and analgesia is required.
