Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Please do not worry this answer is absolutely free to you, now to your query your brother is suffering from abdominal tuberculosis and taking treatment for it, as surgery is advised to him there must be some stricture formation due to which there is intestinal obstruction is there. If intestinal obstruction is there then it needs surgery and can not be corrected by medicines. Your surgeon can confirm it by plain X-ray, Ultrasonography, and CT scan or MRI of abdomen. He should go for surgery and then if any part is removed or biopsy may be taken for histopathology. If it is possible to isolate TB (AFB) it would be great to have culture and sensitivity to guide about Chat Doctor. If not then Suitable
