Abstract
THE SURGERY OF THORACIC TB HAS A SERIOUS DRAWBACK: ITS VARIABLE TAXONOMY. THE VARIOUS CRITERIA DESIGNATED TO ESTABLISH THE SURGICAL INDICATIONS IN TB LACK THE CLARITY OF THOSE WE USE IN OTHER PATHOLOGIES. THEREFORE, THE BEGINNER THORACIC SURGEON FACES A CHALLENGE WHEN DEALING WITH THE CLASSIFICATIONS COMMONLY USED IN PHTHISIO -SURGERY. THIS ARTICLE TRIES TO SIMPLIFY THE ACTUAL TABLES CONCERNING THE SURGICAL INDICATIONS IN TB, IN ORDER TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIBLE ALGORITHM. WE ALSO PRESENT OUR EXPERIENCE ON 83 OPERATED PATIENTS, SUSTAINING OUR ALGORITHM.
