Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Fibrin Glue  Fibrin Glue 0.5 ml to 1 ml as per requirment, using single dose to seal the fistulous tract. If the tract failed to heal in first attempt, second or third dose of Fibrin glue ( 0.5 ml / 1 ml) will be applied as per need to close the tract. Under all aseptic precautions and suitable anaesthesia, Ksharsutra will be inserted in fistulous tract from external to internal opening in anal canal and two ends of the ksharsutra will be tied forming a loop.Ksharsutra will be changed after the interval of every 5 days by rail-road technique till the debridment of tract.After debridment, when the fistulous tract becomes clean and healthy. It requires 3 to 5 weeks to achieve the debridment and cleaning of the tract .Then the tract will be sealed by applying Fibrin Glue. Proper analgesic drugs will be given as per need.  
Comparator Agent  Ksharsutra  A single Ksharsutra of length 1 feet, used once on every 5th day, upto the complete healing of fistulous tract. underall aseptic precautions and under the suitable anaesthesia with patient in lithotomy position, Ksharsutra will be inserted into the fistula tract with the help of Fistula Probe through the external opening, gradually extended to the internal opening, taken out of the anal canal and two ends of the Ksharsutra will be tied forming a loop. Change of Ksharsutra will be done after the interval of every 5 days by rail-road technique. Proper analgesic drug will be given as per the need.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This is a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial on Integrated approach to the management of low anal fistula with Ksharsutra  followed by Cyanoacrylate Glue sealing.In this study Fibrin glue is replaced with the CYNOACRYLATE GLUE. because Fibrin glue was not easily available, there is a high risk of allergic reaction and the cost is too high.On the other hand Cynoacrylate giue is easily available ,has no allergic reaction and cost effective.  
Main purpose behind this trial is to explore the basic principal of ’healing of wound in Shuddhavastha". Bhagandat is a chronic and continuously infected tract lined by unhealthy granulation and fibrous tissue.. It is observed in various scientific studies  that.all the surgical treatment options for the fistula in ano are carried out in the "Dushtavastha" ie. infected stage of fistula. Sushruta was well aware about wounds and its management. He strongly quoted that there will be delayed or non healing of the wound unless Shuddhavastha of the wound is achieved.

In the present study. total 90 patients were assigned  randomly to 3 groups. Patients in group A received Cyanoacrylate glue followed by Ksharsutra therapy. Patients in Group B received Ksharsutra therapy, while patients in group C received Cyanoacrylate glue sealing. All the patients were observed weekly i.e. on 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st  day and so on till the complete healing of fistula tract. Effect of the therapy was assessed on the  on the basis of relief  in subjective as well as objective criteria.  Patients were followed up to 6 months after completion of treatment. The observed results were assessed statistically to drive the final outcome.. 
It was observed that all the therapies were effective in reducing pain, discharge, inflammation and tenderness. Though ksharsutra therapy is 100 % effective in terms of curing the fistula in ano,  it took longer duration of time.  Also persistent pain and discomfort was observed by the patients during treatment period. But the rate of recurrence was negligible by Ksharsutra therapy. 
On the other hand, experimetal group A showed less duration of treatment, early recovery, minimal operative time and hospital stay, pain was comparitively less than other 2 groups. But it was observed that, recurrence was more in group A , as compared to group B., butbit was less than gtoup C. 
From this, we can say that, the surgical techniques are adopted in dushtavastha of fistula vrana., which might be the  case of recurrence .Finally we can conclude that, ksharssutra ligation until shuddhavastha of vrana, followed by cyanoacrylate glue sealing in comparison to standard ksharsutra therapy can be better ulternative to curtail the prolonged duration of treatment.
