Dr. Pankaj K. Pal, Dr. Poonam Pal and Dr. Arjun Gupta*

ABSTRACT

Nadi Vrana, also known as Pilonidal sinus is a frequent illness in tropical regions. Nadi Vrana is linked to the occurrence of several cavities or recesses in an ulcer that has a path that extends into the deeper tissues. Nadi Vrana is synonymous with Gati. Gati is the term used to describe conditions where there is an extensive infiltration of pus due to unsanitary conditions. Despite the enormous advancements made in the field of modern surgery, it is still a difficult and problematic condition. According to the clinical approach taken by contemporary surgeons, Nadi Vrana has been treated incorrectly, ineffectively, with post-operative problems and complaints of recurrences in the majority of cases. Out of many treatment options for pilonidal sinus, Kshar Sutra Therapy is the most preferred because of high success rates, no complications and very low recurrences. A lot of patients are getting cured through this ayurvedic para-surgical technique from around the globe.
