Background: Fistulectomy results in an open perianal wound requiring prolonged healing and repeated dressings. Apamarg Ksharajal described in Ayurveda as a Shodhana-Ropana agent.
Aim: To evaluate the add-on effect of Apamarg Ksharajala Dhawan in post‑operative fistulectomy wounds.
Materials & Methods: A total of 60 patients were divided into two groups: Group A received Apamarg Ksharajala Dhawan in addition to standard care, while Group B received standard care alone. Parameters observed were pain, itching, tenderness, and wound size.
Results: Group A showed faster reduction in pain, itching, discharge, and wound size. Granulation tissue appeared earlier, and complete healing time was significantly shorter compared to Group Conclusion: Apamarg Ksharajala Dhawan is an effective add‑on therapy for improving wound healing in post‑operative fistulectomy patients.
