Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is designed as a randomised controlled , patient blinded, single centric, superiority study with two parallel groups and a primary end point of pain reduction and wound healing on 26 days after proctology surgery. Randomisation will be performed with a 1:1 allocation
Need for the study
A simple cost effective feasible topical application to reduce pain and promote post-operative
 proctological wound healing which can exponentially reduce the chances of surgical site infection and
 impact of prolonged hospital stay with increase in QOL in post- surgical patients.
