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.

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION:Apeptic ulcer is a defect in the upper gastrointestinal mucosa that extends through the muscularis mucosa into deeper layers of the gut wall. Non-steroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the major risk factors for peptic ulcer disease.Long-term use of NSAIDs, however, can cause gastrointestinal (GI) ulcers and potentially life-threatening ulcer complications. MATERIALAND METHOD: The present study was conducted on 100 patients of peptic ulcer of either sex in Department of Surgery, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur. History of any other co morbid illness and any drug being taken with its time duration were recorded in detail. RESULT AND DISCUSSION: From this study, it was observed that among the 69 patients of duodenal perforation, 73.91% were taking NSAID. Similarly among the 31 patients of gastric perforation 80.64% were taking NSAID. Overall total 76% patients were taking these drugs. CONCLUSION: It is concluded from this study that a strong statistical correlation was found between use of NSAIDs and peptic ulcer perforation.

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: Peptic ulcer perforation is the commonest surgical emergencies in India. Recent emergency surgical procedures show an increasing trend in peptic ulcer perforation surgery in young adults. This study is carried out with an aim to understand the trend, causation and complications of peptic ulcer perforation in young Indians.Methods: A prospective observational study of young adult Indian patients operated for emergency peptic ulcer perforation for a 3 years period from January 2014 to January 2017 was carried out. The incidence, causative factors and the complications were analyzed.Results: In study of 150 patients, maximum incidence of 42.85% was seen in age group of 21 to 30 years that is young adults. 80% of them were males. 59% patients had blood group O. Association with smoking and alcoholism was seen in about 64% and 66.6% respectively. In about 13.33% there was an association seen with history of NSAID / steroid ingestion / treatment with proton pump inhibitors or H2antagonists.The duodenal perforation was found in 84.66%. In 90% the perforation was less than 1cm.Wound infection was the commonest complication among all patients. Mortality was seen in 3.33%.Conclusions: Peptic ulcer perforation shows increasing incidence in young adult males. The increased incidence shows association to smoking, alcoholism, irregular food habits, use of NSAIDS/steroids and overall stressed lifestyle.

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 one of the most common non-traumatic emergency cases in the emergency unit, and have a high mortality rate, more than 70% in the elderly. Accurate and early identification of high-risk surgical patients with PPU is important for triage and risk stratification. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mortality in patients with operated PPU.Methods: Between January 2015 to December 2016, 50 consecutive patients with PPU who performed laparotomy were studied retrospectively. This study was a diagnostic test to evaluate the validity of PULP (Peptic Ulcer Perforation) score to predict mortality in patient with operated PPU and determine the best cut-off point. Presentation ≥ or < 24 hours, age of 65 years old, the presence of preoperative shock, ASA score, the presence of AIDS or active malignancy, liver failure, concomitant use of steroids and serum creatinine > 14.7 g/dL were evaluated in PULP score.Results: The cut-off point for PULP the score in the present study is > 7, based on the optimal cut-off value, patients could be divided into low-risk patients (a score of < 7 points), and high-risk patients (a score of > 7 points). PULP score had 91.7% sensitivity, 65.4% specificity, and 78% accuracy in this study. Positive predictive value and negative predictive the values were 71% and 89.9%.Conclusion: The PULP score is sensitive to predict the mortality risk in patients operated for perforated peptic ulcer and can assist in risk stratification and triage.

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.
