Abstract

In anorectal disorders fistulainano is notorious disease and having more recurrence rates and in Ayurveda it was mentioned as mahagada. In this research study the trials conducted at different institutes were summarized which were treated with Apamarga Kshrasutra. The data was collected from different institutes of India during the period of 2005 to 2010. Total 3719 patients were studied and they were analysed for relief, recurrences and complications like incontinences of faeces etc. During the treatment period adjuvant drugs like sphatikadi yoga used for sitz bath, Jatikalp oil used for matra basti while Chakreshwara Rasa and Gandhaka Rasayan for oral administration were given. The duration of treatment was continued till the Apamarg Ksharasutra gets cut through from the fistulous track completely. The shortest duration of the treatment was recorded in patients of sub mucous fistula in which the track had taken one week only to cut through the tract while the longest duration of the treatment was in the patient of multiple tracks of recurrent fistulainano and it took more than 12 months. It was observed that the unit cutting and healing time was average ½ cm per week in most of the patients.
