The Role of Pneumoperitoneum in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

O. P. Mital M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and R. P. Dixit M.D.2

1 Chief, Department of Tuberculosis and Surgeon Tuberculosis Hospital, G.S.V.M. Medical College
2 Physician, Bhowali Sanatorium, Nainital

A series of 800 cases, of which 600 had pneumoperitoneum and chemotherapy and 200 chemotherapy alone, is analyzed.

It has been found that pneumoperitoneum with chemotherapy diminishes the chances of relapse, and increases the incidence of cavity closure, especially the basal cavities.

It is an effective mode of treatment in an economically underdeveloped country like India.
