[Features of surgery on female genital tuberculosis].
The paper gives the outcomes of treatment in 4983 patients treated at the Gynecology Clinic of the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Phthisiopulmonology in 1977 to 1999. Surgical interventions different in their scope were made in 949 (19%) females. Analyzing 526 females of them indicated that organ-saving operations were performed in most cases (80.2%). Indications for surgery and the time of preoperative etiotropic therapy were defined. Emphasis is laid on that the introduction of laparoscopy into practical phthiosiologic gynecology will solve many problems associated not only with a surgical appliance, but also with the diagnosis of genital tuberculosis.
