The Anorectal diseases have been known from thousands of years. Acharya Sushruta, the great surgeon of India gave a list of Anorectal disorders, where he discussed the normal function of Apanavayu in chapter of Vatavyadhi. Ayurvedic literature of anorectal diseases have been described as Bhagandara (Fistula in ano), Arshas (Haemorrhoids), Nadivrana (Pilonidal sinus) and Gudabhramsa(Rectal prolapse).In Ayurveda diagnosis of these diseases is based on sign and symptoms. A full clinical history and diagnostic imaging techniques are very useful to gain information about type of Anorectal diseases and to rule out associated conditions. In Trividha Pareeksha (3 fold examination)of Ayurveda, Darshan Pariksha is one of them and may do with many tools like NadiYantra etc. The Vikiran Avum Chhaya (Radiology and Imaging), the most efficient and non-invasive diagnostic area, is also a tool for Darshan Pariksha. TodayRadiology and Imaging techniques used for diagnosis of Anorectal diseases is mainly Plain X-ray, Fistulogram /Sinogram, Trans rectal/Endoanal Ultrasonography (TRUS), CT fistulography, MRI and Anorectal Manometry.A x-ray procedure done to view an abnormal passage (fistula/sinus) between two or more organs is called as Fistulogram or Sinogram. This technique is minimal invasive, less expensive and provides as accurate representation of anal and rectal anatomy. It isused for staging of both benign and malignant anorectal diseases.CT fistulography and MR imaging have their respective advantages for the preoperative evaluation of perianal fistulas and can be applied when necessary. Anorectal manometry is useful to assess sphincter functions.
