Abstract

In Ayurvedic classics Parikartika has been depicted as complication of vamana, virechana, Atisara, etc.  Parikartika can be correlated to fissure-in-ano in modern parlance a common disease among ano-rectal disorders. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Ksharasutra suturing in chronic fissure-in-ano.  In this study, total 50 patients of chronic fissure-in-ano aged between 18-60 years of either sex were selected for Ksharasutra suturing (KSS) which performed under spinal anesthesia. The Ksharasutra suturing was done once and after slough out of Ksharasutra wound was treated with Jatyadi taila and adjuvant drugs for four weeks. The study showed encouraging results with Ksharasutra Suturing in Parikartika without untoward effect.
