Question
I had peritoneal tuberculosis leading to intestinal perforation and had to have surgery, now using an ostomy. My TB treatment regimen is 12 months. I have been in treatment for 11 months now. Now I want to close the anus, the doctors told me to check the lungs to see if they are stable and then they close it. Please tell me when can close the colostomy after peritoneal TB surgery? It's been 11 months, can I go for a test?

Answer
Hello, please answer the question: “When can the colostomy be closed after peritoneal TB surgery?” Your results are as follows:
The evaluation of peritoneal TB treatment results should be done in a specialized hospital and after completing the treatment regimen. During treatment, doctors can also test, take X-rays of the lungs a few times to assess the response of the treatment process, but the overall examination after the end of the regimen can highest value.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice and examination by specialist doctors. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec.
