Kshar Sutra Treatment - Best Treatment for Piles, Fissure, Fistula and Pilonidal Sinus

Kshar Sutra is a time-tested, authentic Ayurvedic procedure that is completely safe and effective. In this technique, a medicated alkaline thread is used. It requires less than an hour and patients are discharged on the same day. Kshar Sutra reduces chances of recurrence as compared to other treatments.

It makes the use of Seton – cotton thread impregnated with layers of medicinal plant extracts (latex). It takes 3- 4 weeks to prepare the Kshar Sutra. Kshar Sutra is prepared by coating a surgical linen thread of gauge number 30 with Snuhi Latex 11 times, snuhi latex and Apamarga Kshara 7 times, and snuhi latex and turmeric powder 3 times. It is also used for the treatment of other anorectal conditions like hemorrhoids, sentinel piles, polyps, warts and pilonidal sinus.

Kshar Sutra Treatment is the hallmark of ayurvedic surgery because once the disease is treated with ksharasutra the chances of disease recurrence is almost negligible.

The Kshar sutra remains in direct contact of the diseased are and, therefore, it physically and chemically curettes out the tract and sloughs out its lining, thereby allowing it to collapse and heal. It is a less invasive, cost efficient treatment. The complications are minimal; chances of loss of sphincter control and resulting anal incontinence are very low.

Advantages of Kshar Sutra Therapy

• No hospital stay
• Quick recovery
• High success
• Less recurrence
• No complications like stenosis and incontinence

Disadvantages of Kshar Sutra Therapy

• Kshar Sutra Therapy is a multi-staged procedure and patients need to visit on a weekly basis. (Although it is considered that a slow healing will ensure better wound healing.)

• The wound discharge is typically more as compared to other techniques. (It is actually the mechanism of Kshar Sutra that it cauterizes the unhealthy tissues which in turn presentsa s discharge.)

• The healing time is also comparatively longer.  

• It involves some pain. Whether Kshar Sutra is less or more painful than other procedures remains a matter of discussion because most of the general surgeries also causes much pain to the patient.

High success rates and very low recurrence chances are two most important reasons why people opt for Kshar Sutra Therapy for the treatment of pilonidal Sinus, fistula, piles and fissure.
