[Organization of a tuberculosis surgical service for patients in Western Siberia].
The conditions of the surgical care for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and in particular patients with chronic cavernous tuberculosis were investigated in some regions of West Siberia. In the last 5 years the activity of the surgical care and the proportion of the operated persons among the contingents of the patients with active tuberculosis increased by 63 and up to 10.5%, respectively. Surgical treatment was mainly applied to new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis since many persons with chronic tuberculosis had contraindications to such treatment due to the disease severity and asocial behaviour.
