 Fistula- in- ano, is mostly a chronic and complicated disease with higher recurrency rate. In Ayurveda, Ksharsutra therapy is one of the special form of treatment  modality stated in the treatment of Nadi Vrana (Sinus) by Acharya Sushruta – The Father of Surgery. Ksharsutra is a medicated thread coated with herbal drugs and rendered alkaline. Ksharsutra therapy is proved to be a most successful and preferred treatment modality for the patient with Fistula-in-ano with almost negligent recurrency . Ksharsutra therapy is nothing but a surgery without knife as it cuts, curettes, drains and cleans the fistulous track without using a knife.  Patients who are not willing for surgery or who is old age, or having another disease or unfit for surgery can be opted for the Ksharsutra therapy
