title: [Surgical treatment of nephrotuberculosis in the present-day epidemiological situation].
abstract: The article presents data on the structure of operative interventions and assessment of the role of an early kidney decompression in management of renal tuberculosis complicated by urethritis. It was found that such eradicative techniques as nephrectomy and nephruretherectomy still prevail. Early drainage of the kidney for its decompression allows preservation of the kidney and following reconstructive surgery in 70.6% of cases. The number of early and later complications considerably decreased.
