Abstract

Post-operative pain management is a crucial component of recovery, particularly following anorectal surgeries, where pain can significantly hinder healing. The prevalence of postoperative pain after 24 hours of surgery is 55.3%, after 48 hours is 34.7 % and of moderate to severe post-operative pain is 13 % after 24 hours, and 11.7% after 48 hours1 .Ano rectal pathology amenable to ambulatory surgery includes anal fissures, warts, fistulas, hemorrhoids,abscess and small neoplasms. Quick recovery after ano rectal surgery can be successful only with effective post-operative pain control. Acharya Sushruta recommends the use of Yashtimadhu siddha ghritha application over the operated area2 . Additionally , he advocates the application of shoolahara dravyas and vatahara dravyas processed with ghritha to the surgical site for effective pain relief. Planning a cost effective, reliable, time tested and technically simple management is the need of this modem era. The present study explores the possible analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties of Palasha Gudavarti, offering an alternative approach to conventional pain management techniques.
