Abstract

Dr. Chopade Sushama Dnyaneshwar* and Dr. Diware Chinmay Gopal
ABSTRACT
The Bhagandar (Fistula-in-Ano) is considered one of the eight major diseases according to the Sushruta Samhita. This condition is difficult to treat due to its recurring nature, causing inconvenience in daily life. In ancient times, Acharya Sushruta described the use of kshar sutra in the treatment of Nadi vrana (sinus), while Hippocrates used plane silk thread for fistula-in-Ano. Kshar Sutra, a medicated thread prepared following a standard protocol, has been a game- changer in the treatment of fistula-in-ano. In a recent case study, a 47-year-old male patient with symptoms of pain and pus discharge from the perianal region for four months was treated with Kshar Sutra on an outpatient basis with weekly thread changes. Within four weeks, the patient fully recovered with complete removal of the tract, demonstrating the effectiveness of Kshar Sutra as a low- complication and low-cost treatment option for Bhagandara.
