    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) presents diagnostic challenges.
    • A mass with or without intestinal obstruction is the most common presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of abdominal tuberculosis.
    • To evaluate diagnostic methods and surgical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 50 abdominal TB cases over 10 years.
    • Analysis of diagnostic utility of biochemical, hematological, and bacteriological tests.
    • Evaluation of laparoscopy and surgical findings for diagnosis and management.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal mass with or without obstruction was the commonest presentation.

  • Diagnostic tests had limited utility; laparoscopy and biopsy were key.
  • Conservative surgery (adhesiolysis, resection) was preferred; bypass for severe cases.
  • Prognosis was excellent with negligible mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopy is a safe and reliable diagnostic tool for abdominal TB.
    • Conservative surgical management yields excellent outcomes.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable prognosis in abdominal TB.
