Description
Anil Kumar presents an Ayurvedic surgical technique for a hard fistula case in this 2026 case study. A 40-year-old man had a returning horseshoe-shaped anal fistula at the front, a complex tunnel pattern where standard surgery risks scarring and loss of bowel control.
The method used, called IFTAK, intercepts the tunnel and threads it with a medicated alkaline thread that cuts and heals tissue slowly while sparing the muscle ring. Checks included finger exam, scope view, dye test, and probing to map the tracts. The fistula healed fully with no return at eight months. The author reports shorter hospital stay and treatment time than older methods.
