The site, technique and suitability of a procedure depend on the individual presentation. Viddhakarma should therefore not be treated as a routine procedure that is appropriate for every person or every complaint.
The process begins with consultation and assessment. If the procedure is considered appropriate, the practitioner determines the relevant site and approach, explains the procedure and provides appropriate aftercare guidance.
Because Viddhakarma involves an invasive technique, safety, hygiene, anatomical knowledge and appropriate clinical judgement are essential. It should be performed only by a suitably trained practitioner in an appropriate clinical setting.
Evidence for individual indications is still developing. Viddhakarma should not be presented as a guaranteed treatment or substitute for appropriate conventional medical evaluation.
