title: Modified surgical procedures in intestinal tuberculosis.
abstract: The results of modified surgical procedures in intestinal tuberculosis in 79 patients are presented. Special emphasis is laid on the role of limited ileocaecal resection and ileoplasty. These procedures are safe, quick and easy with preservation of functional portions of the bowel. They are of immense value in emergencies in chronically ill and emaciated patients.
