[Potentialities of preoperative chest computed tomography in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
The data on 120 patients prepared for surgery for pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed. Based on the results obtained after computed tomography (CT), the authors received additional information in 86 (71.7%) patients, resulting in changes in surgical tactics in 41 (34.2%) patients, delay of surgery in 33 (27.5%), and its cancellation in 12 (10%). It should be concluded that it is necessary to use chest CT in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at the preoperative stage.
