title: Extrapleural pneumothorax.
abstract: Extrapleural pneumothorax is a valuable method of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. However, it is applicable in a relatively few cases which meet stringent criteria. Moreover, it entails the absolute necessity for continuity of care following operation. Within these limitations, the procedure will control tuberculosis in a small but significant number of patients.
