Brief Summary  
The present study is undertaken to overcome and compare the limitations of the
conventional ksharasutras with sadyaksharasutra, like difficulty in the preparation and
preservation of ksharasutra, prolonged cutting time and long standing severe pain
following ksharasutra application. As surgery is considered essential in many cases of
fistula-in-ano, but due to increased chances of recurrence, ksharasutra becomes their
last resort. The main objective of the present study is to attain a fast cutting time with
minimal complications and to shorten the whole treatment duration. Kshara is prepared
from Apamarga (Achyranthes aspera) . As Apamarga kshara  is used for making
sadyaksharasutra, it is beneficial in two ways, one by not developing any skin irritation
/ allergic reactions and the other by improving cutting along with healing.
