Fistula surgery
I had fistula surgery 7 days ago and have been going to hospital regularly for dressing. The services in the hospital is not good and I am made to wait 30 to 45 minutes before they would find a nurse for dressing. I would like to stop going and try the dressing from home. Is this safe and what are the liquids/ointment/medicine that I should have handy for home dressing. Mine was a complex fistula and the wound is big ( about 2 to 3 cm).
Thank you for your help.

Chances of recurrence after surgery in patients of complex anal fistula are very high. The packing should be done only by a doctor. Unfortunately if symptoms of recurrence (like discharges from operated area) appear you should opt for Graded Ksharsutra which ensures complete healing of anal fistula.
Clinical trials conducted by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have proven that Ksharsutra treatment is more convenient and more effective in anal fistula.

Fistulactomy in modern surgery where the rate of success is very low. The rate of success of Ayurvedic Kshar-Sutra surgery was found to be 98.6% in Fistula. Kshar-Sutra surgery in ano-rectal diseases is the best option available nowadays in medical science. According to World Health Organisation(WHO) , Kshar Sutra Therapy is better than any Modern Surgery for Anal Fistula.

Kindly get the dressing done at the hospital itself since you had a complex fistula and the wound is big so it needs to be done with care so that the wound heals properly. Once the sutures are removed and the wound is healed better you can do the dressing it at home after consulting with your treating doctor.
