Application of varti in the management of fistula in ano is well known and Sushruta has mentioned different types of Varti in the management of Nadivrana and Bhagandara Chikitsa for the sodhana and ropana of tracts Kshara is also one variety of cauterization by using phytochemical substance. It can be used as an individual or an adjuvant to surgical measure. The caustic applied by means of Kshara varti along with plain thread are capable of performing chemical fistulectomy, without creating a wide gap, which is subsequently completely filled by granulation tissue, thus preventing the formation of pus pockets or leaving behind a patent tract. In this a comparative study is done between the guggulu kshar sutra and kshar varti along with plain thread to evaluate the efficiency of kshar varti in fistula in ano. Burning pain and irritation during the primary application and successive changes of plain thread with kshar varti is quite less comparatively to by using guggulu kshar sutra.
