Abstract

Background: Surgical intervention is sometimes indicated in patients with TUBERCULOSIS (TB) and mycobacterial infections other than TUBERCULOSIS (MOTT). These interventions usually follow one of the following objectives: diagnosis of the TB-, treatment of the cases with resistance to medical therapy and treatment of the COMPLICATIONS including hemoptysis, bronchopleural fistula, empyema, trapped lung, etc. Patients and methods: during last 2 years (December 1997 to December 1999) 72 patients with TB or MOTT underwent surgery for treatment and /or diagnosis of TUBERCULOSIS. There were 26 females and 46 males. Mean age was 40 years ranging from 8 to 78 years, data were extracted from hospital files and a computerized questionnaire designed in our department for patients with TB or MOTT. Procedures: In 72 patients, 93 procedures were undertaken. The main objective for surgical intervention was diagnosis in 34 patients, treatment in 31 and both in 7. Major operations to be mentioned were: 4 pneumoectomy, 13 lobectomy, 5 laparotomy and 2 decortications. Also in 4 patients muscle flaps were used to fill residual spaces. Results: Two deaths occurred, in patients with therapeutic surgical interventions. Other COMPLICATIONS including one bronchopleural fistula, one empyema and one enterocutaneous fistula were treated successfully. Mean follow up was 3 months ranging from 1 to 24 months. Conclusion: Surgical intervention has its important role in the treatment of TB and MOTT and can be done with good results and low mortality and minimal morbidity in patients who are appropriately selected for SURGICAL TREATMENT.
