Certain conditions such as piles, fistula and non-healing wounds respond best to minimally invasive Ayurvedic procedures rather than internal medication alone. Sethu Ayurveda Hospital performs these procedures under the direct care of a trained Ayurvedic surgeon, using techniques refined over generations of clinical practice.
Surgical Grade Ayurvedic Expertise
Our parasurgical unit is led by a qualified Ayurvedic surgeon trained in classical shalya tantra techniques, including Kshara Sutra for anorectal conditions. Every procedure is preceded by a proper diagnosis, explained to the patient before the day of treatment, and followed up with wound care instructions until full recovery. Patients avoid the extended hospital stay and general anaesthesia typically required for conventional surgery.
WHAT WE TREAT
A medicated alkaline thread is used to treat fistula in ano through a slow cutting and healing action. This procedure has documented success in reducing recurrence compared to conventional fistula surgery.
Application of a specially prepared alkaline paste to treat piles, warts, corns and certain skin lesions without the need for a surgical incision.
Controlled thermal cauterisation is applied to specific points and is commonly used for chronic joint pain, tendon inflammation and certain skin growths.
Medicinal leech application to draw out impure blood from a localised area, used in conditions such as varicose veins, non-healing ulcers and certain skin disorders.
A precise venous puncture technique used as part of blood purification procedures for specific chronic conditions under physician assessment.
Localised application of medicated alkaline preparations for anal fissures, fistulous tracts and select anorectal conditions requiring gentle, staged treatment.
Structured dressing changes and herbal wound care following any parasurgical procedure, tracked until the treated area has fully healed.
When A Para Surgical Approach Helps
These procedures are recommended when a condition has not responded to medication alone and conventional surgery carries a higher recurrence risk.
Ayurvedic therapies help manage acute and chronic pain by addressing underlying imbalances, reducing stiffness and discomfort, and supporting improved mobility and recovery.
Conditions such as piles, anal fissures and fistula are managed with specialised Ayurvedic procedures like Kshara Sutra and Kshara Karma, supporting healing and symptom relief.
Conditions such as varicose veins and non-healing ulcers may be managed with Jalaukavacharana, an Ayurvedic therapy traditionally used to support circulation and tissue healing.
How A Procedure Is Planned
Every procedure follows a defined sequence to keep the experience predictable for the patient.
Our Ayurvedic surgeon examines the affected area and reviews any prior investigations or treatment history you bring to the appointment.
Additional tests are arranged if needed to confirm the extent and nature of the condition before deciding on the appropriate procedure.
The surgeon explains the recommended procedure, expected number of sittings and post-procedure care so you know what to prepare for.
The procedure is carried out in a dedicated procedure room using local preparation, with the patient typically able to return home the same day.
Scheduled follow-up visits track healing progress, with dressing changes and guidance provided until the treated area has fully recovered.
Why Patients Opt For This Approach
Avoids general anaesthesia required in most conventional surgical procedures.
Involves a shorter recovery period compared to standard surgery.
Carries a lower reported recurrence rate for conditions such as fistula.
Preserves surrounding tissue through targeted, localised treatment.
Reduces the risk of complications linked to open surgical wounds.
Allows most patients to resume daily activity within a short span
Minimises scarring at the treated site.
Provides an option for patients who wish to avoid surgery altogether.

Questions, answered
Local preparation is used to keep discomfort minimal, and most patients describe the sensation as manageable rather than severe
This depends on the condition. Fistula treatment with Kshara Sutra usually involves multiple sittings over several weeks, while procedures like Kshara Karma may need fewer visits.
Most parasurgical procedures are performed on a day care basis, allowing you to return home the same day with follow-up instructions.
Recurrence rates for procedures such as Kshara Sutra are generally lower than conventional surgery, though your surgeon will discuss your specific risk during consultation.
Recovery time varies by procedure, but most patients return to routine activity within a few days, with strenuous activity resumed only after your surgeon confirms the area has healed.
