title: [The therapeutic aspects of urogenital tuberculosis. Apropos of 86 cases].
abstract: On the basis of a series of 86 cases of urogenital tuberculosis and a review of literature, a detailed study of the different therapeutic methods of this affection is done. Today, with the tuberculostatic agents, the medical treatment alone is frequently sufficient and ablative surgery is less often mandatory than reconstructive. Different types of short course chemotherapy and the role of associated steroids are reviewed. Finally, the authors stress the indications of ablative surgery and review the different procedures of reconstructive surgery in order to clearly define a logical therapeutic approach.
