title: [The surgical treatment of tuberculosis in adults in the first half of the 20th century in the journal 'Gruźlica' (tuberculosis)].
abstract: Against the backdrop of the journal 'Gruilica', which appeared from 1909 to 1961, the author traces the changes taking place in the surgical treatment of TB patients over that period. She describes such things as pneumoperitoneal treatment (extrapulmonary, intrapulmonary, peritoneal), suction drainage of the tubercular cavity by the Monaldi method and finally thoracoplasty. She also mentions the contributions Polish physicians have made to those treatment methods.
