Dear Mrs. Raman Bhat You have not mentioned about the biopsy report. You may get another biopsy from the edge of the sinus and if the biopsy report shows any granulomas or the giant cell reaction, then there is very strong possibility of port site tubercular infection . In this situation anti tubercular treatment is to be started. So before going for excision biopsy of the sinuses the biopsy from the edge is advisable. Thanks With Regards Dr j S Chowhan |

Sir, My Biopsy was done in the month of August 2014 that came positive for MYCOBACTERIUM OTHER THAN M. TUBERCULOSIS (SLOW GROWER).After that ATT treatment was started and is still on.No discharge is taking place from the sinus they all are healed up and they all are closed. Now Doctor advice that we have to remove the tracts Surgically. Please Advice Sir. Regards Raman Dear Raman If the tracts have dried up this means that tubercular infection is cured. Sinogram may be done to see whether the tract is still patent. And if patent then excision of tract may be planned. Thanks With Regards Dr J S Chowhan |
