Background: Laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer was reported in 1990 but has not gained wide acceptance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic repair in routine clinical practice.Methods: This was a prospective analysis of 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of a perforated peptic ulcer between July 2009 and June2010.Results: Thirty patients of mean age 45 (range 25-52) years had perforated ulcer diagnosed by clinical examination and x-ray abdomen and confirmed by laparoscopy. 28 was duodenal ulcer perforation and rest 2 was gastric ulcer perforation. Only 3 patients required conversion to laparotomy out of them 2 were DU perforation and one was gastric ulcer perforation. Mean operation time was 75 (range 75-150) minutes. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 6 (5-10) days. Postoperative convalescences were good. There was no operation related complication but one patient needs transfer to ICU for delayed recovery and the patient eventually recovered well. Post-operative leakage occurred in one patient and that was treated by laparotomy. One of 3 conversion cases developed wound infection but wound related complications in laparoscopic cases were very negligibe.Conclusion: Laparoscopic repair is a safe and effective procedure for repair of perforated peptic ulcer.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jpsb.v1i2.19535

Background: Gastric ulcer disease remains the most common gastrointestinal disease. This affects about 4 million people every year worldwide with an incidence of 1.5%-3% and 2-14% of these will progress to perforation. Mortality is reported in 30% of cases and caused morbidity in 50% of patients. Some studies have suggested that mortality in patients with peritonitis accompanied by candidiasis ranges from 20%-75%, whereas others have argued that the presence of fungal isolates in patients with perforated peptic ulcer does not affect the outcome. A recent study reported an incidence of 45% of patients peptic ulcer perforation cases accompanied by candidiasis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in 2019.Methods: This was a cross sectional study based on medical record data of patients with gastric ulcer perforation accompanied by candidiasis who underwent laparotomy and gastric repair surgery at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January 2019 to December 2020.Results: There was no significant correlation between candidiasis and mortality in gastric ulcer perforation patients (p=0.989).Conclusion: Candidiasis does not increase mortality in patients with gastric ulcer perforation.

Introduction Peptic ulcer perforation is a complication of ulcer disease which requires urgent surgical treatment. The aim of this paper was to point out our experience in surgical treatment of perforated peptic ulcer. Material and methods This retrospective study analyzes results of surgical treatment in 365 patients with perforated peptic ulcer during the period January 1996 to December 2000. Results During the last 5-year period 365 patients were treated following peptic ulcer perforation. The average age was 43.53?8.26, with the span from 18 to 86. The most frequent surgical procedures in treatment of peptic ulcer perforation were: simple closure with biopsy (55.88%), excision of the ulcer with a pyloroplasty and vagotomy (35.29%) as nonresection surgical procedures and stomach resection after Billroth II (8.83%). The postoperative mortality was 4.41%. Conclusions The methods of choice in surgical treatment of gastric ulcer perforation are nonresection surgical procedures with drug therapy and eradication of Helicobacter pylori, if present.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is found in more than 90% cases of peptic ulcer. This study examines the possibility of association of Helicobacter pylori in perforated peptic ulcer disease and its relation to persisting ulcer as well as the influence of other risk factors; namely: smoking, alcohol, current non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid use. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, total of 50 cases of peptic ulcer perforation admitted in College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All patients who presented with suspected peptic ulcer perforation were included in the study and the perforations were repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch and were given triple therapy postoperatively. The age, sex, incidence, mode of presentation, precipitating factors, association with the risk factors and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared. Results: Of 50 patients studied, the age ranged from 17 to 75 years, mean age being 40.1 years with the peak incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades of life showing a male dominance (92%). H. pylori was seen in ulcer edge biopsy in 29 patients (58%). Most common clinical presentation was pain abdomen, the most common signs of perforation were tenderness, rebound tenderness and absent bowel sounds. The mean duration of stay in hospital in H. pylori positive patients was 12.07±8.15 days as compared with 11.1±5.12 days in H. pylori negative patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer perforation was higher in the patients consuming alcohol (64%) than smokers (48%), followed by NSAIDs user(22%). 20% of the patients with delayed presentation developed complications postoperatively. Perforated peptic ulcer was repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch Repair, followed by anti H. pylori therapy in all of them. Conclusion: Peptic ulcer perforation is quite common among the patients with peptic ulcer disease with history of chronic smoking, alcoholism and analgesic intake, more commonly in males. There is association of H. pylori in 58% of patients with peptic ulcer perforation.

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: The study included patients diagnosed as perforated peptic ulcer. Outcomes are assessed by mortality and morbidity rate, operation time and hospital length of stay.Methods: On the period from January 2013 to December 2014 a total of 71 patients were operated in both facilities: 37 patients in Dubai hospital and 34 in Mafraq Hospital. Open repair with omental patch done in 34 patients (47.9%) and laparoscopically in 37 patients (52.1%). No cases of laparoscopy converted to laparotomy.Results: The data demonstrates homogeneous results for the outcome variables of morbidity and complications, while operation time and hospital length of stay differ significantly. Statistical significance could not be reached for any of these variables, although odd ratios were consistently in favour of the laparoscopic repair. Similarly, the laparoscopic approach resulted in a lower rate of minor complications (10% vs. 23%). Total lengths of stay post open repair made of 4.2±1.2 days, after laparoscopic repair 3.6±0.9 days. At the same time there were observed longer operating times for laparoscopic repair of PPU which constituted 62±10.6 minutes whereas open repair took only 45±12.9 minutes. Peritoneal lavage has been a factor of prolonged duration of laparoscopic surgery.Conclusions: Laparoscopic repair of a perforated peptic ulcer is an amenable and feasible technique within the hands of experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Current evidence does not clearly demonstrate the advantages of laparoscopic versus open repair. Growing interest in the laparoscopic approach may encourage the design of additional randomized trials to analyze its efficacy compared with the open approach.
