The ksharasutra theatre attached to the department provides effective management for fistula in ano and piles. X-ray unit was commissioned recently in the department. The museum is arranged with surgical instruments and educative charts. There is a mini physiotherapy unit also. An agnikarma unit is also functioning in the department. Research schemes on back ache and cancer are under consideration with the Central Govt. A special centre for sports medicine is being discussed with Kerala Sports Council.

"What is Ksharasutra Treatment"

Kshara-sutra is a medicated thread which is prepared by applying the coatings of apamarg kshara, haridra churna etc. with snuhi ksheer as binding agent. The thread is then sterilized by U V Radiation. The cumulative effect of the above-mentioned three drugs exerts a powerful debridement effect on the fistula tract & induces healing by the fresh & healthy granulation tissues. The sutra is the mechanism of drug delivery precisely at the tissues involved.
