[Laparoscopic resection of ileo-cecal tuberculosis].
Rarely seen in industrialised countries, ileo-caecal tuberculosis does not require surgery unless complications or diagnosis uncertainly occur. When laparotomy is contre indicated in presence of chronical respiratory disease, laparo-assisted ileo-caecal resection is an interesting alternative to classical surgery as it has less effect on ventilation. This laparo-assisted ileo-caecal resection appears to the first reported in presence of intestinal tuberculosis.
