Online published on 20 February, 2023. Abstract Shalyatantra is one of the utmost branch in Ayurveda having competency to tackle various critical diseases which are difficult to treat with modern surgical methods. Bhagandar i.e fistula in ano is included in Ashtomahagada by Acharya Sushruta as the dreadful disease which is difficult to cure, leaving patient in a vague pain and discomfort during the course of treatment and with possibility of reoccurrence of the disease. The diseases is well known for its complex nature of healing. Clinically, we can observed that most of the patients who were treated with modern surgery will end up with tremendous pain at the operative wound with sacrifice of larger tissue area involved in fistula which hampers daily routine and also produces negative impact on an employment of the patient. Instead of taking all treatment and care, patients will face re-occurrence of the disease which will lower their self-esteem. A unique treatment modality known as Ksharsutra therapy introduced by Sushrutacharya is a successfully proven minimal invasive technique which has overcome these drawbacks of modern surgical techniques. The traditional Ksharsutra therapy involves treating various complex multiple fistulas with minimal pain and discomfort, less tissue sacrifice, rapid healing which can add on to minimal hospital stay.
