This study was carried out to establish criteria for the determination of indication of surgical treatment and the selection of operative procedures in pulmonary tuberculosis. The materials of this study consisted of 2, 444 cases, among them 70% were severe cases, who had been operated upon in 1961 and 1962 at 50 institutions belonging to the Tuberculosis Research Committee (RYOKEN) and had been followed up for at least 8 months postoperatively. The attempt was made to evaluate the results of surgical treatment by means of the successful rate and the mortality rate in some groups which had been classified by the grading of surgical severity defined by the Surgical Subcommittee of the Tuberculosis Research Committee. In this study, the cases with negative sputum and returned to work during the follow-up period were defined as successful cases, and death neither related to operation nor tuberculosis worsening were excluded from the died cases.
