Surgical intervention for pericostal tuberculosis is effective when medical therapy fails. Combining rib excision with extended antituberculotic treatment prevents relapse and preserves respiratory function.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Pericostal tuberculosis requires careful treatment considerations, particularly regarding surgical timing and relapse prevention.
  • Medical therapy for pericostal tuberculosis has a limited success rate within three months.

Purpose:

  • To determine the optimal timing for surgical intervention in pericostal tuberculosis cases unresponsive to medical therapy.
  • To evaluate methods for preventing postoperative relapse in patients with pericostal tuberculosis.

Summary:

  • Seven patients with pericostal tuberculosis underwent surgery after failing 3.9 months of antituberculotic treatment.
  • Surgical treatment involved immediate wound closure, resulting in no severe complications and rapid symptom resolution.
  • Active excision of the affected rib and tumor, coupled with 13.1 months of postoperative antituberculotic administration, led to no relapses over an average 37.4-month follow-up.

Impact:

  • Establishes criteria for surgical decision-making in refractory pericostal tuberculosis.
  • Demonstrates a successful surgical and pharmacological strategy to prevent recurrence.
  • Confirms that surgical treatment does not compromise postoperative respiratory function.
