Sushruta mentioned sixty measures for management of wounds. Panchavalkal is the combination of five herbs having properties like Shodhana (cleaning) and Ropana (healing) of wounds. Individual drugs and in combination have Kashaya rasa (astringent) dominant and useful in the management of Vrana (wounds) as well as Shotha (inflammations). A 35 years old male patient consulted in Shalya OPD with complaints like discharge per anum, induration and intermittent pain at perianal region since last five years. On inspection external opening was observed at anterior portion 1 O' clock position which was four centimeter away from anal verge. That case was diagnosed as Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano) and was treated with partial fistulectomy and application of Guggulu based Ksharasutra in the remaining tract. The big fistulectomy wound was treated with local application of Panchavalkal ointment daily and simultaneous change of Ksharasutra. The wound was assessed daily for pain, swelling, discharge, size, and shape. The wound healed completely within two and half month with normal scar having good tissue strength. This case demonstrated that post fistulectomy wound can be treated with Panchavalkal ointment.

Article Synopsis
- * An 11-year-old boy presented with persistent wounds in his right shoulder, a history of muscle infection, and later developed pus and bone issues confirmed by X-ray and culture identifying a specific bacterial infection.
- * Treatment involved antibiotics sensitive to the identified bacteria, followed by surgery, and the boy had an uneventful recovery, highlighting that while rare, clavicular osteomyelitis can be serious and linked to previous infections.

Anal fistula, characterized by abnormal tracts between the perianal skin and the anal canal, presents challenges in treatment because of its diversity and complexity. This study investigates the use of non-thermal plasma as a postsurgical therapy for anal fistula, aiming to promote healing and tissue regeneration. A specialized plasma reactor was designed to apply non-thermal plasma within the anorectal cavity practically.

BACKGROUND Endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become the preferred technique currently. The use of mesh to facilitate a tension-free reinforcement has become the standard of care during endoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP), laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal, and open inguinal hernia repair. Although uncommon, late-developing mesh infections, defined as those occurring in the surgical site months or years after the procedure, can lead to severe complications.

Aim: The underlying causes of failure or recurrence after ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract are postulated to be refistulization, breakdown of the closure wound in the intersphincteric plane and faecal contents entering the internal opening, thereby causing recurrent infection. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the outcomes of subtotal fistulectomy with sliding anoderm flaps to prevent refistulization.
Method: This retrospective study used prospectively collected data.
