    Abstract:
    Laparoscopy assisted hemicolectomy for ileo-caecal tuberculosis is being evaluated the world over. Several procedures are performed laparoscopically, including the laparoscopic hemicolectomy, for benign and malignant diseases. Abdominal tuberculosis is one of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in India. We have evaluated the role of laparoscopic resection of ileocaecal tuberculosis and successfully performed the procedure in five patients. The clinical profiles of patients and operative procedure are discussed in this article with a brief review of the literature.
