Best Tuberculosis Surgery in Dubai -DRHC

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. While most cases of TB can be treated with antibiotics, some cases may require surgery. The best type of surgery for TB depends on the specific circumstances of the patient and the extent of the disease. Here are some common surgical procedures used to treat TB:

1. Lobectomy: This procedure involves removing a lobe of the lung that is affected by TB. It is typically used when the TB infection is localized to one area of the lung.
2. Pneumonectomy: This procedure involves removing an entire lung that is affected by TB. It is typically used when the TB infection is extensive and involves multiple lobes of the lung.
3. Thoracoplasty: This procedure involves removing a portion of the ribcage to collapse the affected lung and prevent the spread of TB. It is typically used when the TB infection is not responding to antibiotics and is causing severe symptoms.
4. Pleurectomy: This procedure involves removing the pleura, the thin membrane that covers the lungs and lines the chest cavity. It is typically used when the TB infection has spread to the pleura and is causing pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the pleural space).
5. Decortication: This procedure involves removing the thickened and scarred tissue that has formed as a result of the TB infection. It is typically used when the TB infection has caused fibrosis (scarring) of the lung tissue.

It is important to note that surgery is usually considered a last resort for treating TB and is typically only recommended when the infection is not responding to antibiotics or is causing severe symptoms. The decision to undergo surgery for TB should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider who specializes in the treatment of TB.
