[Results of conservative and operative treatment of urogenital tuberculosis (author's transl)].

In spite of the constant regression in newly notified Tbc patients, the percentage of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, especially of the urogenital region, remains unchanged at a high level. Modern therapy of urogenital tuberculosis is divisible into conservative, purely medicamentous treatment, possibly in combination with corticosteroids, and operative therapy, procedures preserving organs and rational eradication of tuberculous processes having to be carefully weighed against each other. The results of treatment are analyzed with reference to our own series of patients (n = 478).
