Journal of Thoracic Disease 2014 March

The role of surgical therapy has declined but the role of surgery in TB still remains in situations like diagnostic difficulties, persistent sputum positive state despite therapy and complications and sequel like haemoptysis, destroyed or bronchiectatic lungs or empyema with or without broncho-pleural fistula (BPF). Various procedures have a role according to the indication. Some of the procedures have become obsolete but lobectomy, pneumonectomy, thoracoplasty, decortication and open window thoracostomy continue to be relevant.
