    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis is an "old disease" but still remains a threat in modern days life. Despite human and material efforts, despite the improvements in drug therapy, the treatment of tuberculosis continue to consume a great amount of health care worldwide. A certain percentage among the patients with pleuro-pulmonary tuberculosis represents failures of DOTS therapy. Among them, paraclinical investigations will select candidates eligible for thoracic surgery. In our study we are reviewing the main surgical options and we present our experience regarding surgery in pleuro-pulmonary tuberculosis--what to operate and when is the best moment.
