Dr. Atul Patil Awarded PhD for Pioneering Research in Ayurvedic Ksharasutra Treatment

Maharashtra – In a significant milestone for the Ayurvedic medical community, Dr. Atul Patil has been awarded a PhD degree by Dr. D. Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai, in recognition of his groundbreaking research on “Ksharasutra and Seton”—a traditional Ayurvedic treatment method known for its efficacy in managing complex anorectal conditions such as fistula-in-ano.

The degree was conferred during the university’s convocation ceremony, marking the culmination of seven years of dedicated research and academic pursuit. Dr. Patil’s study sheds new light on how this ancient treatment can be refined and scientifically applied to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

Dr. Atul Patil serves as the Director of Vithai Piles Hospital, which operates two branches located in Kasarwadi and Kokane Chowk, PCMC, Pune. With over 14 years of experience, he is a leading super-specialist in the treatment of piles, fissures, and fistulas. His approach is unique in that it combines modern laser technology with classical Ayurvedic Ksharasutra therapy, offering minimally invasive solutions with reduced recovery time and high success rates.

The Ksharasutra technique, an age-old Ayurvedic procedure, is also recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its effectiveness. Dr. Patil’s research validates that when applied with precision and scientific rigor, Ksharasutra can outperform even some modern surgical methods in terms of safety, recurrence rate, and patient satisfaction.

This achievement not only adds to Dr. Patil’s esteemed career but also reinforces the importance of integrative medicine—bridging ancient wisdom with modern science. His wife, Dr. Sarita Atul Patil, also a reputed physician, played a vital role in supporting and contributing to this extensive research effort. Together, the couple has been widely praised by medical experts, fellow practitioners, and patients alike for their dedication to advancing holistic healthcare.

Dr. Patil’s PhD is a proud moment for the entire medical community, particularly those advocating for the scientific validation of traditional systems of medicine. His work stands as a shining example of how Ayurveda and modern medical science can work hand in hand to improve human health and well-being.
