Current Indications and Outcome of Pulmonary Resections for Tuberculosis Complications in Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract: this study period. The median age was 33.5 years (range: 3-50). The indication for lung resection was massive or persistent haemoptysis, and 2 patients also had aspergilloma. Six patients (60%) had lobectomy, 1 had a bilobectomy, and the remaining 3 had pneumonectomy. Complications included partial wound dehiscence in 2 patients, 1 of whom also had postoperative empyema thoracis. One patient died immediately due to haemorrhage. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 37 months. Conclusion: This study showed that the factor… Show more

“…Complications of TB: TB can lead to complications such as bronchopleural fistula, empyema, and lung abscess, which may require surgical intervention. [5] 3. Diagnostic uncertainty: In some cases, it may be difficult to establish a diagnosis of TB and a surgical biopsy may be required for confirmation 4.…”

“…(Table 1). Seventeen (41.5%) studies were retrospective chart reviews [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], 12 (29.3%) were case reports [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], 5 case series (12.2%) [8,[41][42][43][44], 5 prospective cohorts [45][46][47][48][49], and 2 cross-sectional studies [50,51]. The majority of the studies were from East (n = 11) and West (n = 10) Africa.…”

“…For example, among 1,276 patients admitted to hospital for pulmonary tuberculosis in Taipei, Taiwan, only 5.1% had tuberculosis of the lower lobe (Chang et al, 1967); other studies have produced similar results (Berger & Granada, 1974;Kourbatova et al, 2006). Additionally, involvement of the left side of the rib cage appears to be more frequent in instances of lung destruction caused by tuberculosis, possibly owing to the altered anatomy of the left bronchus in relation to the heart, leading to a greater likelihood of obstruction and impaired lymph drainage (Ashour, 1995;Porres et al, 2017;Salami et al, 2018). However, other studies have produced P R E P R I N T conflicting results (Boloursaz et al, 2010;Moreira et al, 2011), and greater clinical and bioarchaeological data is required before rib IPR distribution can be used to identify specific diseases (Davies-Barrett et al, 2019).…”
