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.

The article defines the significance and relevance of the problem of endometriosis during pregnancy. 10% of women in the reproductive period have different localization of endometriosis. 25% of pregnancies with endometriosis are complicated by preterm labor. The article presents a clinical case of intra-abdominal bleeding in a 28-year-old pregnant woman with retrocervical endometriosis at gestation age of 32 weeks and 6 days. The article covers the results of examination and special diagnostic procedures of intra-abdominal bleeding in pregnant women with retrocervical endometriosis. The main diagnostic methods were the study of past medical history, ultrasound examination, and laboratory tests. Due to their infrequency during pregnancy internal bleedings present difficulties in their diagnosis. Ultrasound reliably revealed a large amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity and small pelvis and excluded the presence of intrauterine bleeding. Clinical and laboratory tests indicated the severity of the patient's condition. Symptoms of moderate fetal distress were also identified. Therefore, a decision was made about an emergency delivery by the cesarean section followed by an abdominal revision. During the cesarean section, 500 ml of blood in the form of dark blood clots was found in the abdominal cavity. The condition of the premature newborn was in conformity with his gestational age. The source of bleeding were the of endometriosis on the back wall of the uterus. These focuses most likely caused hemoperitoneum. The revision of the abdominal cavity did not find any other foci of bleeding. The postoperative period was uneventful. The article provides general guidelines for the management of pregnant women with severe forms of endometriosis.

Background: Perforated peptic ulcer is the most common cause among all causes of gastrointestinal tract perforationwhich is an emergency condition of the abdomen that requires early recognition and timely surgical management. Peptic ulcer perforation is associated significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of study is to evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, management and outcomes of the patient with peptic ulcer perforation undergoing emergency laparotomy. Methods: This retrospective study includes 45 patients who were operated for perforated peptic ulcer peritonitis atDepartment of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar from October 2018 to March 2020. Paediatricpatients of age less than 14 years, patients presenting as recurrent perforation were excluded from the study. A detailed history, clinical presentation and routine investigations were done in all cases. Results: In the present study, most of the patients were male. Most of these patients presents with clinical signs ofperitonitis between 24-48 hours after onset of the pain. Among the patients of peptic ulcer perforation, duodenal perforation (93.3%) is more common and which is the most common cause of perforation peritonitis. The diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed by presence of gas under diaphragm on radiograph. Exploratory laparotomy with simple closure of perforation with omental patch was done in all cases. The most common post-operative complication was wound infection (57.5%). The overall mortality was 11.1%. Conclusions: Late presentation of peptic ulcer perforation is common with high morbidity and mortality. Surgicalintervention with Graham’s omentopexy with broad spectrum antibiotics is still commonly practiced.

Background. Peptic ulcer perforation is a common cause of emergency admission and surgery. This is the first study that documents the presentation and outcome of management in Irrua, Nigeria. Patients and Method. This is a prospective study of all patients operated on for perforated peptic ulcer between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2015. A structured questionnaire containing patients’ demographics, operation findings, and outcome was filled upon discharge or death. Results. There were 104 patients. 81 males and 23 females (M : F = 3.5 : 1). The age range was between 17 years and 95 years. The mean age was 48.99 years ± SD 16.1 years. The ratio of gastric to duodenal perforation was 1.88 : 1. Perforation was the first sign of peptic ulcer disease in 62 (59.6%). Pneumoperitoneum was detectable with plain radiographs in 95 (91%) patients. 72 (69.2%) had Graham’s Omentopexy. Death rate was 17.3%. Conclusion. We note that gastric perforation is a far commoner disease in our environment. Perforation is often the first sign of peptic ulcer disease. We identify fasting amongst Christians as a risk factor for perforation.

Background: Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a disease whose incidence is decreasing. However, PPU still requires emergency surgery. The aim of this study was to review the clinical characteristics of patients who received primary repair for PPU and identify the predisposing factors associated with severe complications. Method: From January 2011 to December 2020, a total of 75 patients underwent primary repair for PPU in our hospital. We reviewed the patients’ data, including general characteristics and perioperative complications. Surgical complications were evaluated using the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) system, with which we classified patients into the mild complication (CDC 0–III, n = 61) and severe complication (CDC IV–V, n = 14) groups. Result: Fifty patients had gastric perforation, and twenty-five patients had duodenal perforation. Among surgical complications, leakage or fistula were the most common (5/75, 6.7%), followed by wound problems (4/75, 5.3%). Of the medical complications, infection (9/75, 12%) and pulmonary disorder (7/75, 9.3%) were common. Eight patients died within thirty days after surgery (8/75, 10.7%). Liver cirrhosis was the most significant predisposing factor for severe complications (HR = 44.392, p = 0.003). Conclusion: PPU is still a surgically important disease that has significant mortality, above 10%. Liver cirrhosis is the most important underlying disease associated with severe complications.

Ulcer Perforation

Background: Peptic Ulcer Perforation is an important and common emergency. One of the most dreaded and common complication of peptic ulcers is perforation. Perforations account for about 5% of peptic ulcers. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study is clinical study of perforated peptic ulcer with objectives to assess the socio demographic distribution of peptic ulcer and to assess the clinical presentations and management of peptic ulcer perforation. Methodology: This was a retrospective study conducted in Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences Bilaspur in year 2018-2019. Total 158 patients were taken, who were diagnosed and operated for perforated peptic ulcer. Detail history and clinical findings were taken from case file. Result: a total 158 patients were studied, 76% were male, and 41-50 years age group was commonly affected. Alcohol consumption, old age, comorbid illness and pre admission delayed was most common factor. Abdominal pain i.e. 100% was most common presentation. Duodenal perforation was common i.e.38.60%. omentopaxy was preferable mode of repair perforation. Conclusion: Perforation of peptic ulcer is one of the common surgical emergencies and requires awareness and prompt management and operation. It mostly affects young and middle aged males in the thirties. Simple closure with omentopaxy is standard procedure.

Objectives: To evaluate the epidemiology of peptic ulcer perforation in Armed Forces and further management / outcome of the patients. Methods: Data of 36 patients with perforated peptic ulcer collected. This data was analyzed on SPSS 13. Period and Setting: CMH Rawalpindi from Jan 1979 to July 1981, Jan 1985 to Dec 1987 and Jan 2001 to Dec 2003. Results: Out of 36 patients 35 were male and only one was female. Twenty four (67%) were between 31-50 years. No past history was taken from eight (22%) patients. Thirty four (94%) patients presented with duodenal perforation. Twenty patients (55%) had rigidity all over abdomen and peristalsis were present in ten (28%) patients who reported within twelve hours. Seventy eight (78%) were diagnosed by history and simple radiological examination. All the patients were treated by laparotomy (simple closure with omental patch). Post operative complications occur in ten (28%) patients and mortality rate was 8%. Conclusion: Predominantly the peptic ulcer perforation occurs between 30-50 years of age. The incidence reduces with succeeding years of study. Post operative complications were less in younger age group .Early diagnosis can be made easily by taking good history and performing simple radiological examination.

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.

In the article a clinical case of surgical treatment of peptic ulcer of gastroenteroanastomosis complicated with perforation and gastrointestinal bleeding, is described. The patient was observed with the diagnosis: cholelithiasis, chronic calculous cholecystitis, for which planned laparoscopic cholecystectomy with draining of the abdominal cavity was performed. According to the discharge record, the operation ran without peculiarities. Later the patient was rehospitalized with complaints of weakness, nausea, vomiting, pain in the upper parts of the abdomen; he was diagnosed with ulcer of gastroenteroanastomosis and continuing bleeding that were indications for the surgical intervention for life-saving indications. From the patient words, a part of the stomach was resected more than 20 years before for gastric ulcer. Until the latest time, the patient felt satisfactory, but within 6 months pain in the abdomen reappeared, however, on examination cholelithiasis was identified, and the pain syndrome was attributed to this pathology. Assumably, after the first operation performed in 1995, a complication developed in the early postoperative period in the form of obstruction of gastroenteroanastomosis (anastomositis?), and additional gastroenteroanastomosis was applied. Conclusion. Peptic ulcer of anastomosis is an actual problem of the gastric surgery which may not only appear long time after the operation, but may give the same complications as «essential» peptic ulcer, and really threaten the life of patients. It should be noted that in some cases the intraoperative picture, experience and sensations of a surgeon play a decisive role in the diagnosis of surgical pathology even if they differ from the data of additional methods of examination.

AbstractIn recent years, the incidence of tuberculosis in pregnancy in the industrialised countries has increased. Tuberculosis in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for the mother and child. Even if no figures are available for Germany, an increase in the number of tuberculosis cases among pregnant women can be assumed due to the migratory flows; current data from the USA, for example, also show an increasing incidence of tuberculosis in pregnant women in recent years. The physiological and immunological changes that occur during pregnancy are likely to have a negative impact on the course of the disease and may make it more difficult to confirm the diagnosis. There are no internationally standardised recommendations for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infections. When screening for TB is performed in specific risk populations, an Interferon-γ Release Assay (IGRA) should preferably be carried out according to the current study data. If corresponding symptoms are present and an IGRA test is positive, further diagnostics are indicated, also in pregnancy. If tuberculosis is confirmed, the fact that a woman is pregnant must not delay the initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy, as an early start of therapy is associated with a more favourable outcome for both mother and child. The common first-line therapeutic drugs may also be used during pregnancy and are considered safe. The treatment of latent tuberculosis during pregnancy is disputed.
