ABSTRACT:
A chronic, abnormal contact between the epithelialized anal canal surface and the perianal skin is known as an anal fistula (fistula-in-ano), which can cause serious morbidity and lower quality of life. Traditional surgical procedures as well as more contemporary ones, like the application of fibrin glue, a plug, or closure of the intersphincteric fistula tract, are available as treatment options (LIFT). These conventional techniques, however, may have varying degrees of efficacy, and some may be connected to the risk of incontinence. The Kshara Sutra, an antiquated Ayurvedic parasurgical procedure, was used to treat a case series of 10 patients with a range of anal fistulas, ranging in complexity from simple to complex presentations. Patients in the cases range in age from 22 to 55, both male and female. Despite variations in their particular circumstances, all patients had completely healed fistulas following Kshara Sutra treatment. Additionally, this treatment showed promise in simplifying complicated fistulas. These results add to the expanding body of research that supports the use of Kshara Sutra therapy for the repair of anal fistulas, offering a promising, secure, and maybe more effective option than traditional surgical procedures.
