Abstract
Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Tunisia. Tataouine governorate is an endemic area. Peritoneal involvement occurs in 1 - 2% of cases. We here report a retrospective, descriptive epidemiological study of 32 patients operated in the Department of Surgery at the Tataouine Hospital between 2010 and 2020. Laparoscopy was mainly performed (28 patients) to take biopsy samples for histologic confirmation of peritoneal tuberculosis. Twenty-four women and 8 men were involved in the study, with a M/F ratio of 0.33. The median age was 43 years, ranging from 14 to 78 years. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in 28 cases (87.5%). Given the intraoperative macroscopic aspect, the diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis was strongly suspected in 16 patients (50%). The anatomopathological study confirmed the diagnosis in all patients. The purpose of this study is to highlight the epidemiological, clinical features of peritoneal tuberculosis in an endemic region of Tunisia as well as the current role of laparoscopy as a rapid and effective diagnostic procedure.
