ABSTRACT

Fistula is an abnormal connection between two epithelial lined surfaces. The term fistula is derived from the Latin word, meaning “of reed” pipe, or flute. Fistula in ano is a hollow tract that is lined with granulation tissue and connects a primary opening inside the anal canal to a secondary opening in the perianal skin. For all practical purpose, fistula in ano is a tract which usually communicates an infected anal gland to a secondary opening in perianal skin, and often lined with granulation tissue. Acharya Sushruta in his text described different types of Chedana Karma in Bhagandara. In this case, track of fistula was excised with use of Ardhalanglak Chedana and Madhuyashti Ghrita was applied under post-operative care. Study was conducted for evaluating the healing effect of Madhuyashti Ghrita on post operative wound and the result showed beneficial effects of the formulation based on its anti-ulcer, anti inflammatory and rejuvenating properties.
