Until now, the problem of the pathogenesis and therapy of ulcers remains open. None of the methods used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease is radical. But among the existing treatments, X-ray therapy is beginning to figure prominently. The X-ray method impresses with its simplicity, it requires only a few sessions, each lasting a few minutes. It is possible in an outpatient setting and, therefore, does not interrupt the patient from work. Until now. the question has not yet been resolved: is the X-ray method causal or only symptomatic. Nemenov, Gasul, Bagdasarov, Kopelman, Lenk, Goltsknecht and others consider this method of treatment to be relatively causal.

Introduction: Peptic ulcer perforation is the most common surgical emergency and the leading cause of peritonitis with high morbidity and mortality in all age groups throughout world. It is more prevalent in developing countries than developed ones. Graham’s Patch/omentopexy for duodenal perforation and simple closure along with tissue biopsy for the gastric perforation are the procedures of choice respectively. Objectives: To detect the mode of presentation and the outcomes of surgical procedures along with prognosis in patients suffering from perforated peptic ulcer. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Surgical Department of Peoples University of Medical & Health Science for Women Nawabshah, From January 2016 to December 2017. Methodology: All patients were admitted through OPD/Emergency. Patients presented with peritonitis having history of peptic ulcer disease were studied. X Ray chest/ X Ray abdomen Erect showed pnemoperitonium. Laparotomy and primary repair along with biopsy for gastric perforation and graham’s patch for duodenal perforations were performed. Results: In our study, total 52 patients were included. Male Female ratio was 3.5:1.6. Mean age was 49 years. Majority of patients presented in 5th to 6th decade of their life. In 96% cases abdominal pain was the 1st symptom followed by vomiting and distension of abdomen. Different surgical procedures were performed and surgical site infection was the commonest complication in 37 (73%) patients in our study. Conclusion: Primary closure and graham’s patch are the best choice as surgical procedures for the cases of gastric and duodenal ulcer perforations respectively.

BACKGROUND: Since late 1960s, the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease and its complications has been steadily decreasing. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the changing trends in the prevalence and complications of peptic ulcer in Kashmir. METHODS: A cohort of 10474 people aged 15-60 years in district Baramulla of Kashmir was interviewed about symptoms, complications, and surgery related to peptic ulcer. People were enquired about smoking, use of NSAIDs, H2 Receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and endoscopies. All symptomatic and randomly selected group of asymptomatic people underwent esophago-gastro-cluodenoscopy. RESULTS: In symptomatic group, 286 (41.45%) people hod peptic ulcer and in asymptomatic group 24 (5.35%) had peptic ulcer. There were 71 already diagnosed cases of peptic ulcer; totaling 381. Thirty three people had surgery for peptic ulcer. The point prevalence of peptic ulcer was 3.54% and lifetime prevalence 8.96%. The highest prevalence was in 4th decade. Bleeding was seen in 23.63%, gastric outlet obstruction 4.20%, ulcer perforation 0.52%. 9.39% of peptic ulcer patients had undergone surgery. When compared to previous study in 1985 in Kashmir, there was decrease in point prevalence of 25%, in life-time prevalence of 20.14%, Gastric outlet obstruction by 51.7%, ulcer perforation by 87%, surgery rate by 60% and bleeding by a marginal 2%. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of peptic ulcerand its complications (except bleeding) are showing downward trend in Kashmir over the last 20 years. JMS 2012;15(2):136-40
