Bhagandara is an anorectal ailment, which is symptomatically correlated to Fistula-in-ano in the Modern literature. Fistula-in-ano can be defined as a track lined by granulation tissue, which connects perianal skin superficially to anal canal, anorectum or rectum deeply, usually occurs secondary to a pre-existing anorectal abscess, which burst spontaneously. The treatment for fistula-in-ano in Modern science involves opening of the track using a knife and later either the unhealthy granulation tissue is scraped off with a Volkmann spoon or the whole track with the fibrous tissue is excised. The problem faced in the treatment of fistula in ano is extensive mutilation of the ano-rectal and ischiorectal area, which is a prerequisite for the radical cure, prolonged hospitalization, high rate of recurrence and anal incontinence. Among the various treatment practised in Ayurveda nowadays, Kshara sutra ligation has atmost benefits, given its high healing tendency and rare to none chances of recurrence.

Bhagandara, Fistula-in-ano, Kshara sutra.
