Summary of article contents:
Background : Bhagandara (Fistula in ano) is a common anorectal condition prevalent in Shalya speciality and its prevalence is second highest after Arshas (Haemorrhoids). On the basis of successful management of Bhagandara by Ksharasutra , exploration of new plants for the preparation of Kshara is the need of the hour. Objectives : To evaluate efficacy of Paribhadraka Ksharasutra in comparison with standard Apamarga Ksharasutra in the management of Bhagandara. Methodology : 40 Patients of Bhagandara were randomly divided into two equal groups- Group S (control) was treated with Apamarga Ksharasutra and Group T (trial) was treated with Paribhadrika Ksharasutra. Ksharasutra for each group was applied on the day I of surgery and with the replacement of Ksharasutra in an interval of 7 days, it was retained till the cutting of tract. Follow up were done until the next 1 month after complete cutting of tract. Results : On the basis of assessment criteria and on overall results of t reatment, both the Ksharasutras are having almost equal effect in the management of Bhagandara . Both Group S and Group T got 100% results in the symptoms like itching, discharge and induration. Also, there was statistically significant reduction in both the groups in the symptoms of pain and length of track. On comparison, there was no statistically significant differences between the groups. Conclusion : Paribhadraka Ksharasutra can be considered to have almost equal result with that of Apamarga Ksharasutra . So, Paribhadraka Ksharasutra can be used as an alternate of Apamarga Ksharasutra . Keywords: Fistulainano, Bhagandara, Apamarga Ksharasutra, Paribhadraka Ksharasutra
