Abstract

Educational aims

  • To explain the present importance of surgery in TB management.

  • To describe the indications for surgery.

  • To discuss the different stages of surgery, along with important points to consider.

  • To present examples of data from one institution to help demonstrate the issues to be considered in surgical management.

Summary Surgery remains an important adjunctive method in the treatment of MDR-TB. In this article, adapted from the European Respiratory Society (ERS) School Course on “Multi-resistant tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterial disease”, held at the 2004 ERS congress in Glasgow, the indications for surgical management in patients with MDR-TB are discussed, together with data from 75 patients with MDR-TB operated on in the Sureyyapasa Thoracic and Cardiovascular Diseases Teaching Hospital, Turkey, between 1993 and 2003.
