Kshar Sutra is a 2500-year-old Ayurvedic para-surgical technique that has become the gold standard for treating anal fistula worldwide. Modern clinical trials, including those by AIIMS and ICMR, have proven its remarkable success.

What is Kshar Sutra?

Kshar Sutra is a medicated thread coated with herbal alkaline preparations (kshara) such as Apamarga, Snuhi and Haridra. The thread is gently placed through the fistula tract and changed every 7 days, slowly cutting and healing the tract simultaneously.

How It Works

  • Cuts the tract gradually
  • Heals the wound at the same time
  • Drains pus and infection naturally
  • Preserves the anal sphincter โ€” no risk of incontinence

Advantages over Conventional Surgery

| Feature | Kshar Sutra | Conventional Surgery | |โ€”|โ€”|โ€”| | Recurrence | Very low | Up to 30% | | Sphincter damage | None | Possible | | Hospital stay | None | 2โ€“3 days | | Cost | Affordable | Higher | | Recovery | Walk in/out | Weeks of bed rest |
