- Objectives: To compare the results of strictureplasty with resection and anastomosis in patients with obstruction of small intestine due to Tuberculosis (TB). Study Design: A Case control study. Place and duration: At the Surgical Unit-II of Nishtar Hospital, Multan for one-year duration from August 2019 to August 2020. Methodology: Eighty (80) patients with intestinal obstruction due to tuberculosis spasms who underwent strictureplasty or resection and anastomosis were enrolled in the study. Data was collected on a proforma, and complications such as anastomotic leakage, wound infection, recurrent intestinal obstruction and postoperative stay were searched for. Results: The results showed that there is no significant difference between the two procedures. Conclusions: Both procedures were equally effective, but strictureplasty is superior to resection and anastomosis in the case of strictures and multiple strictures in order to maintain effective bowel length.
