Ileocaecal Tuberculosis A Study Of 31 Cases.
Pak J Gastroenterol Jan ;12(1-2):0-.

Intestinal tuberculosis accounts for 15% of cases of small bowel obstruction. 20% cases of abdominal tuberculosis have involvement of ileo-caecal region. In 31 cases reported male /female ratio is equal, 11-30 years is the predominant age group involved. Local ileo-caecal resection with ileo-ascending anastomosis through right grid iron incision is safe, less traumatic procedure than formal right hernicolectomy. Stricturoplasty is also safe with low leak rate and can be carried out at multiple sites.
