Background. Gastric and duodenal ulcers are extremely rare in pregnancy, according to published literature. Peptic ulcer is found in 1 per 4,000 pregnant women, a figure probably underestimated due to its hampered diagnosis in pregnancy. Pregnancy peptic ulcer is considered less expected. Perforated gastric and duodenal ulcers comprise about 1.5 % of total acute abdominal diseases, and the perforation rate in ulcer patients ranges within 5–15 %. This complication afflicts the ages of 20–40 years in men much more frequently than in women. Three perforation types occur: free into abdominal cavity (87 %), contained (9 %), into lesser omentum and retroperitoneal tissue (4 %).Materials and methods. The clinical case describes surgical management of posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia-comorbid perforated gastric ulcer in a pregnant woman in third trimester. Surgery with postoperative patient management enabled for a favourable outcome.Results and discussion. Perforation-entailing gastric and duodenal ulcers in pregnant women have received negligible attention due to rarity in clinical practice. Paul et al. described 14 cases of duodenal perforation in pregnancy, all fatal.Conclusion. Early diagnosis of surgical pathology during gestation is still difficult contributing to the development of severe complications associated with high mortality. The patient’s admission to a level III interspecialty hospital was key to enable a timely consilium-driven decision of caesarean intervention for saving the child, diagnosing intraoperatively life-threatening complicated surgical diseases and opting for radical surgery that ended in a favourable outcome.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A protonpumpagátló kezelés és Helicobacter pylori eradikáció következtében a fekélyincidencia csökkent, a fekélyből származó vérzések száma is csökkent, ellenben a perforációk előfordulása változatlanul 2–10% között van. A perforáció egy potenciálisan fatális sebészi sürgősségi helyzet, a mortalitás elérheti a 25%-ot, a morbiditás pedig az 50%-ot. Az időben végzett sürgős sebészi kezelés javíthatja az eredményeket. Célkitűzés: A fekélyperforáció nyitott és laparoszkópos módon történt ellátásának összehasonlítása a morbiditás, mortalitás, műtéti idő és ápolási idő alapján. Eredmények: 2017. 01. 01. és 2019. 06. 30. között 55 műtét történt gastro-duodenális fekélyperforáció miatt, 31 műtétet (56,36%) nyitott és 24 műtétet (43,63%) pedig laparoszkópos módon végeztünk. A laparoszkópos csoportban 4 konverzió történt (16,6%). A nyitott műtéti csoportban 23 férfi (átlagéletkor 56,3 év) és 8 nő volt (átlagéletkor 70,3 év), míg a laparoszkópos csoportban 13 férfi (átlagéletkor 49,7 év) és 11 nő (átlagéletkor 53,7 év) volt. A nyitott csoportban 5, a laparoszkópos csoportban 2 szövődmény fordult elő (p = 0,45). Az átlagos műtéti idő a nyitott műtétnél 51,95 perc (30–85), míg a laparoszkópos műtétnél 63,41 (25–110) perc volt (p = 0,13). A nyitott csoportból 6 (átlagéletkor 74,3 év), a laparoszkópos csoportból pedig 2 (átlagéletkor 68,5 év) beteget veszítettünk el 30 napon belül (p = 0,44). Az átlagos ápolási idő a nyitott csoportban 7,13 (5–16), a laparoszkópos csoportban pedig 6,19 (4–13) napnak bizonyult (p = 0,24). Az átlagos perforációméret a nyitott műtéti csoportban 7,4 mm (3–20 mm), míg a laparoszkópos műtéti csoportban 5,3 mm (3–10 mm) volt (p = 0,14). Szabad levegő natív hasi röntgenvizsgálaton a nyitott csoportban 25 esetben (80%), míg a laparoszkópos csoportban 13 esetben volt látható (54%). Megbeszélés: A korai diagnózis, az azonnal kezdett szupportív és antibiotikus kezelés és a sürgős műtét elengedhetetlen az eredmények javításához. A standard műtét a sutura csepleszlebennyel, amit lehet nyitottan és laparoszkóppal is végezni. Bár a viszonylag kis esetszám miatt anyagunkban nem sikerült igazolni a szövődmények arányának szignifikáns csökkenését, az irodalmi adatok alapján a laparoszkópos beavatkozásnak kisebb a morbiditása, mint a nyílt műtétnek, és ha nincs ellenjavallata a laparoszkópiának (anamnézisben többszörös hasi műtét, nem kellő laparoszkópos gyakorlat, felvételkori sokkos állapot és magas életkor), a laparoszkópia általános előnyei miatt és a szabadlevegő-hiány okozta diagnosztikus bizonytalanság esetén is a laparoszkópia első választásként javasolható. Summary. Introduction: The incidence of peptic ulcer disease decreased due to proton pump inhibitors and Helicobacter pylori eradication. Bleeding from peptic ulcer decreased, as well, although perforation did not decrease and it is permanently between 2–10%. This is a potential surgical emergency, the mortality can reach up to 25% and the morbidity 50%, respectively. Urgent surgical intervention in the right time can improve the results. Aim: To compare the morbidity, mortality, the length of hospital stay and duration of operating time in open and laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer. Results: A cohort of 55 patients were operated on with perforated peptic ulcer from 01.01.2017 to 30.06.2019 31 open (51.36%) and 24 laparoscopic (43.63%) operations were performed from which 4 (16.6%) needed conversion to open approach. The average age of 23 men and 8 women were 56.3 and 70.3 years respectively in the open operations group, while 13 men and 11 women with average age of 49.7 and 53.7 years was in the laparoscopic operations group. Within 30 days the number of complications were 5 in the open and 2 in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.45). The average duration of operation was 51.95 minutes (30–85) in the open and 63.41 minutes (25–110) in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.13). 6 from the open group with average age of 74.3 years and 2 from the laparoscopic group with average age of 68.5 years died within 30 days (p = 0.44). The average length of stay was 7.13 (5–16) days in the open and 6.19 (4–13) days in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.24). The average size of the perforation was 7.4 mm (3–20) in the open and 5.3 mm (3–10) in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.14). Free air was seen in the abdominal cavity in 25 cases (80%) of the open and in 11 cases (54%) of the laparoscopic group. Conclusion: Early diagnosis, prompt supportive care and antibiotic treatment and urgent surgical intervention are essential to improve outcomes. The standard operation is the simple suture with pedicled omental flap which can be performed by either open or laparoscopic surgical repair. Laparoscopic method spreads slowly, the learning curve is longer and it needs more expertise but the morbidity is lower than that of the open surgery. The morbidity does not increase after conversion according to the literature so if there is no contraindication and there is enough expertise it should be suggested as the first choice.

BACKGROUND: Valentino’s syndrome is secondary to a perforated peptic ulcer, which could be located in the stomach or the duodenum, patients present with clinical features that suggest acute appendicitis, with localized peritonitis. There are few case reports about this syndrome worldwide and no one submitted in Ecuador. It is essential to transmit this clinical case for the knowledge of the medical- scientific community. CASE REPORT: A 63-year-old male patient came to the emergency department with abdominal pain, located in the right iliac fossa, that began 12 hours ago, associated to peritoneal irritation signs and hemodynamic decompensation; suggestive of peritonitis. An exploratory laparotomy was performed. EVOLUTION: During exploratory laparotomy, no inflammatory changes were identified in the appendix. After abdominal cavity exploration, a perforated gastric ulcer was found. Primary raffia was stitched in two planes, incidental appendectomy and lavage of the abdominal cavity were performed. The patient had a successful recovery; and was discharged after 7 days at hospitalization. CONCLUSION: The perforation of a peptic ulcer can generate right iliac fossa pain, simulating acute appendicitis due to its clinical similarity. The medical team should consider Valentino’s Syndrome as an important differential diagnosis during the evaluation of a patient that arrives to the emergency room with abdominal pain, suggestive of appendicitis.

AbstractThe vagal nervous system is central to the physiological responses and systemic diseases of the liver. We evaluated the subsequent risk of liver and intrahepatic cancer (HCC/ICC) in non-H. pylori (HP)-infected perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) patients with and without vagotomy. Hospitalized PPU patients who underwent simple closure or truncal vagotomy/pyloroplasty (TVP) in the National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2008 were enrolled. The exclusion criteria included: (1) Multiple surgeries for PPU were received at the same admission; (2) Any cancer history; (3) Previous peptic ulcer-associated surgery; (4) HP infection history; (5) Viral hepatitis infection history; (6) Follow-up duration < 1 year; and (7) Age < 18 years. The risks of developing HCC/ICC in PPU patients with and without vagotomy were assessed at the end of 2013. To balance the baseline condition between groups, we used the propensity score matched method to select study subjects. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) of HCC/ICC. Before propensity score matching, 675 simple suture patients and 54 TVP patients had HCC/ICC, which corresponded to incidences of 2.11 and 0.88 per 1000 person-years, respectively. After propensity score matching, 145 simple suture patients and 54 TVP patients experienced HCC/ICC, which corresponded to incidences of 1.45 and 0.88 per 1000 person-years, respectively. The TVP patients had a 0.71 (95% CI 0.54–0.95)- and 0.69 (95% CI 0.49–0.97)-fold risk of developing HCC/ICC compared to simple suture patients before and after propensity score matching. Our findings reported that, in the Asian population, TVP decreases the risk of HCC/ICC in non-HP-infected PPU patients compared to simple closure patients. However, further studies are warranted.

Perforated peptic ulcers continue to be an important problem in surgical practice. In this study, risk factors for peptic ulcer perforation-associated mortality and morbidity were evaluated. This is a retrospective study of patients surgically treated for perforated peptic ulcer over a decade (March 1999–December 2014). Patient age, sex, complaints at presentation, time lapse between onset of complaints and presentation to the hospital, physical findings, comorbidities, laboratory and imaging findings, length of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality were recorded. The Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score were calculated and recorded for each patient on admission to the hospital. Of the 149 patients, mean age was 50.6 ± 19 years (range: 17–86). Of these, 129 (86.5%) were males and 20 (13.4%) females. At least 1 comorbidity was found in 42 (28.1%) of the patients. Complications developed in 36 (24.1%) of the patients during the postoperative period. The most frequent complication was wound site infection. There was mortality in 26 (17.4%) patients and the most frequent cause of mortality was sepsis. Variables that were found to have statistically significant effects on morbidity included age older than 60 years, presence of comorbidities, and MPI (P = 0.029, 0.013, and 0.013, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, age older than 60 years, presence of comorbidities, and MPI were independent risk factors that affected morbidity. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age older than 60 years [P = 0.006, odds ratio (OR) = 5.99, confidence interval (CI) = 0.95] and comorbidities (OR = 2.73, CI = 0.95) were independent risk factors that affected morbidity. MPI and APACHE II scoring were both predictive of mortality. Age older than 60, presentation time, and MPI were independent risk factors for mortality. Undelayed diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of the utmost importance when presenting with a perforated peptic ulcer. We believe close observation of high-risk patients during the postoperative period may decrease morbidity and mortality rates.
