Background: Peptic perforation is an emergency and requires urgent surgical treatment. Many modalities of treatment are available ranging from conservative treatment to laparoscopic repair. There is no consensus on treatment of perforated pylorodudenal ulcer which can be treated with conservative treatment, simple closure of ulcer, closure of ulcer with free omentum, closure of perforation with use of pedicled omentum, definitive treatment with truncal vagotomy and drainage procedures or parietal cell vagotomy. However best treatment is still to be decided.
Methods: This study was conducted in department of surgery 60 patients presenting with peptic perforation in last three years. All patients with duodenal perforation in first part (D1) were included in the study. Pyloric perforations, multiple perforations, traumatic perforations and severe co-morbid condition were excluded from study. A pedicled omentum was used in the repair of duodenal perforation. Immediate and late postoperative complications were recorded. The patients were followed for three months.
Results: Out of 60 cases there were 50 male patients and 10 female patients. The majority of male patients were in the middle age group between 35 to 45 years of age and the female patients were of older age group between 40 to 65 years of age. These patients presented with history of acute pain abdomen in the epigastric region. All the patients underwent modified Graham’s patch repair. In postoperative period, two patients had burst abdomen on fourth postoperative day. Biliary fistula formation occurred in 2 patients. Wound infection occurred in 4 patients and the hospital stay was 5 to 9 days. There was no mortality recorded in this series.
Conclusions: In summary, the surgery for perforated peptic ulcer should use modified Graham’s repair using pedicled omentum giving excellent results in terms of healing, morbidity and mortality.
