title: Port Site Tuberculosis Presenting as Nonhealing Sinus After Laparoscopic Appendicectomy.
abstract: With increasing use of laparoscopy for various surgical procedures, the occurrence of port site tuberculosis is seen more often as a postoperative complication. However, lack of awareness of this entity leads to prolonged morbidity and repeat surgical interventions. In case of nonhealing sinus following laparoscopic surgery, keeping this possibility in mind will lead to early diagnosis and treatment. In recent times, various diagnostic tests have come up for confirming the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
