Abstract

Anorectal emergencies comprise a wide variety of diseases that share common and overlapping symptoms, i.e., anorectal pain or bleeding, some of the them could be life-threatening and might require proper diagnosis and immediate management. Fistula in Ano is a chronic inflammatory condition having a tubular structure with opening in the Anorectal canal at one end and surface of perineum or perianal skin on the other end. Any opening in perianal area with chronic pus discharge indicates fistulous tract.[1] Here a case of fistula in Ano in a 28 year male patient was examined in Shalya OPD and treated with Aparmarga Ksharasutra, considering it as an ideal procedure in treatment of Bhagandara as it cuts and curettes the unhealthy tissue present inside the fistulous tract.
