The ksharsutra is passed through the fistulous tract (usually under short anesthesia) and two ends of the thread are tied forming a loop. The drugs coated on the thread are continuously release through the length of tract there by cutting, curetting, cleansing and healing the tract simultaneously. After about 7 days the thread loosens because it has cut through some of the tissues and healed simultaneously and thread is now bare (with no drugs on it ). A new thread is now replaced in the tract by special method. The changing of the thread is a simple OPD procedure of 2 to 5 min. requiring no anesthesia. |
