Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 27
Abstract
Context: Duodenal Ulcer Perforation Aims: The aim of the study is to see the trends and analyse the outcome of perforated duodenal ulcer. Settings and Design: Retrospective study- retrospective review of case records. Methods and Material: Case records of 302 patients of DUP presented to a tertiary teaching institute between January 1992 and June 2004 were retrospectively analysed. Various parameters like age, gender, duration of symptoms, comorbidity, leucocyte count, peritoneal contamination, size o perforation, procedure performed and its outcome were studied. All cases operated for DUP only were included. Statistical analysis used: - Results: Observations & Results: 302 patients [274 (90.73%) males and 28 (9.27%)females] underwent surgical procedure for a perforated DUP in this institute. 5 (1.66%) patients underwent a definitive procedure while the rest 297 (98.34%) underwent primary omental patch. 75 (24.83%) patients developed infective complications. 18 (5.96%) of patients developed a bile leak following the surgery. 12 (3.97%) of total patients expired whereas the rest 290 were discharged . Conclusions: The presentation of patients, trend of surgical procedure and the associated morbidity and mortality is similar to other studies. In our study, incidence of emergency surgery and consequently leak rate and mortality has increased in early 2000s this could be attributed to changing patient demographics and needs to be studied further.
