title: [Surgical treatment of obstructive urinary tract diseases in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The paper presents the data of an examination of 92 patients [males (59-64.1%) and females (33-35.9%)] with active pulmonary tuberculosis concurrent with obstructive urinary tract diseases of various etiology. The patients' age ranged from 39 to 90 years (mean 58.2 +/- 2.5 years). Seventy-six (82.0%) patients suffered from infiltrative tuberculosis; 12 (13.0%) and 4 (4.3%) patients had cavernous and fibrocavernous tuberculosis, respectively. A relationship was found between pulmonary tuberculosis and obstructive urinary tract diseases leading to uniform changes in the upper urinary tract. The use of currently available methods for examination and treatment to eliminate infra- and supravesical obstruction permits performance of surgical interventions in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
