Kshar sutra is a specialized form of treatment involving the use of a medicated thread composed of multiple coatings of herbal extracts on thread, resulting in an alkaline pH of around 9.4. This unique thread is particularly effective in addressing conditions such as fistulas or pilonidal sinuses due to its medicinal properties, which facilitate drainage, scraping, and healing simultaneously within the affected area. The procedure for inserting the kshar sutra begins with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the area, followed by the introduction of a malleable probe from the external opening to the internal opening. Subsequently, the kshar sutra is carefully threaded through the fistula tract, creating a loose loop by securing both ends.
The process of changing the kshar sutra after one week is relatively straight forward and does not require additional local anesthesia. The transition involves tying one end of the old thread to the new one and gently pulling the other end after lubrication to seamlessly replace the thread.
Concerns regarding the pain associated with kshar sutra treatment often stem from misleading practices, such as those observed at Bangali Clinic, where unscrupulous individuals manipulate surgical threads with acidic substances, causing unnecessary discomfort to patients.
In contrast, kshar sutra treatment is grounded in scientific research conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). Arogyam Piles Clinic and Research Center prioritizes innovation and modern techniques, streamlining the insertion process by utilizing infant feeding tubes to make it painless and minimize the risk of false tracts. By implementing advanced kshar sutra techniques, the clinic has significantly reduced the treatment duration for fistula and pilonidal sinus patients, with many experiencing minimal pain throughout the procedure.
