Tuberculosis-Related Gland & Intestinal Surgeries

Tuberculosis (TB) can affect not just the lungs but also the lymph nodes (glands) and intestines, leading to serious complications that may require surgical intervention.

Causes:

Infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Spread from pulmonary TB to abdominal organs
Weakened immune system or untreated TB

Symptoms:

Swollen lymph nodes (often in the neck)
Abdominal pain, bloating, or a mass
Fever, night sweats, weight loss
Changes in bowel habits or obstruction

Treatments:

Medical management with anti-tubercular drugs
Surgical removal of TB-infected glands or abscesses
Intestinal surgery for strictures, perforations, or obstruction
Biopsy or diagnostic laparoscopy for accurate diagnosis

Prevention:

Early diagnosis and complete course of TB treatment
Regular follow-ups in case of extrapulmonary TB
Maintaining good hygiene and nutritional support
