title: [Surgical treatment in complicated forms of abdominal tuberculosis].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment of 31 patients with complicated forms of abdominal tuberculosis treated in 2001-2003 were analyzed. Before 2003 surgery was mainly palliative and managed by suturing of perforated ulcers or economic resection of the small intestine (group 1--17 patients) was made. Since 2003 radical right-sided hemi-colectomies with removal of caseous mesenterial lymph nodes is used (group 2--14 patients). Peritoneal lavage with antituberculosis drugs was performed after surgery. From 17 patients of group 1--12 died, from 14 patients of group 2--5. It is concluded that radical surgery in complicated forms of abdominal tuberculosis permits to improve results of surgical treatment of this disease.
