Efficiency of the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis for multidrug-resistant (MDR TB) tuberculosis patients was analyzed. Seventy DOTS-PLUS patients with various clinical forms of pulmonary tuberculosis and Mycobacterium resistance from 3 to 8 antituberculosis drugs have been operated. Positive clinical results have been achieved for 65 (92,8%) patients. Indications for surgical treatment for patients with MDR TB have been developed. To ensure positive outcomes of the surgical interventions, main objective is the development of so-called a favorable preoperative environment during the preoperative phase. It includes switching on intensive chemotherapy and pathogenetic methods of treatment.
