The Relevance and Necessity of Eliminating Postoperative Complications in the Treatment of Tuberculosis of Peripheral Lymph Nodes

The prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis-caused tuberculosis, including both the pulmonary and extrapulmonary forms, is rising annually. The most prevalent type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is lymph node tuberculosis. Even though diagnosis is typically challenging, therapeutic management is nonetheless a problem and a topic of discussion both domestically and internationally. In a few chosen individuals, modern thoracic surgery may now manage tuberculosis and associated consequences with less morbidity and more efficacy than in the past. Importantly, more TB patients may be able to get operative treatment if improved less invasive thoracic surgical techniques reduce the requirements for surgical eligibility. The purpose of this study is to give a general overview of the role that contemporary thoracic surgery can play in the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from tuberculosis and its aftereffects. Treatment for peripheral lymph node tuberculosis (LNT) may result in postoperative complications such as lymphorrhea necessitating additional surgery and wound problems such as infection, cellulitis, and non-healing wounds. Careful wound care, early surgical surgery for specific lesions, careful antibiotic treatment, and handling paradoxical reactions are strategies to eradicate these problems. Although the choice of treatment is influenced by variables such as lesion size, abscess existence, and drug resistance, studies indicate that surgery can reduce the overall length of treatment. An overview of the role that contemporary thoracic surgery can play in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with tuberculosis and its aftereffects is what this article attempts to provide.
