Recurrent Peptic Ulcer Perforation: A Case Report

Introduction. Peptic ulcer perforation is an urgent, life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment. It is a focal defect of the pylorobulbar zone that affects all the layers and allows intraluminal content to leak into the peritoneal/retroperitoneal cavity. The aim of this study is point to ultrasonography as a good diagnostic modality in identifying peptic ulcer perforation when it is clinically unrecognized. Case Report. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who came to the Emergency Center of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina complaining of a sudden severe pain in the entire abdomen. The patient reported previous dyspeptic symptoms. Emergency transabdominal ultrasonography was perfomed, and a peptic ulcer perforation was suspected. It significantly shortened the time to urgent surgical treatment and the diagnosis was confirmed. Conclusion. Pneumoperitoneum, collection of extraluminal free fluid with gas bubbles around the lesion, inflammatory thickening and discontinuity of the pylorobulbar wall, with or without focal hyperechogenic line (perforation zone) are ultrasound findings suggestive of peptic 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.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease is an erosion of the lining of the stomach or duodenum. It is associated with potentially life-threatening complications such as bleeding, perforation and obstruction. The main predisposing factors for peptic ulcer perforation are smoking, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chronic stress, Helicobacter pylori infection, and age >60 years. In recent years, with introduction of proton pump inhibitors and increased knowledge of duodenal ulcer perforation (DUP) has decreased the incidence of DUP.Methods: 50 patients with DUP were studied prospectively with respect to age, gender, use of NSAIDs, morbidity, mortality and complications.Results: Out of 50 patients, the mean age of incidence DUP was 46 yrs, which is more common in males. And also 48% patients were chronic alcoholic and 52% patients were chronic smokers. Moreover, 14% patients were chronic NSAIDs users.Conclusions: Factors such as age, gender, use of NSAID, Alcohol and smoking affects the life expectancy of the patients, which leads to morbidity and mortality.

This is a case report of peptic ulcer perforation as a complication of double contrast Barium meal examination in the presence of gastric outlet obstruction.

Aim. Estimation of the incidence of stenosis, need for pyloroplasty and validity of vagotomy for perforated duodenal ulcer (PDU). Materials and methods. Twenty-year nature of surgical treatment of patients with PDC in the hospital surgery clinic is analyzed. Results. Over 20 years, 726 patients were operated on: 151 women (20.8%), 575 men (79.2%), mean age 39.1±6.3 years. Surgeries were performed both from laparotomic access and video laparoscopically. It is found that PDU is combined with stenosis in 8.5% and with bleeding in 1.6%, which requires Jadd excision of an ulcer on the anterior wall or gastroduodenotomy for flashing a bleeding ulcer on the posterior wall (0.7%) with subsequent Heineke — Mikulicz pyloroplasty and vagotomy. Both stem vagotomy and selective proximal were used by the method of skeletonization of lesser curvature or chemoneurolysis. Suturing with selective proximal vagotomy was performed in 567 patients, isolated suturing — in 77. B-II distal gastric resection was required in 2.1%. Repeated admission of patients with complications of a duodenal ulcer is observed after isolated suturing of PDU without surgical intervention in the mechanisms of ulcer formation. Conclusion. During surgical treatment of PDU are found in 79.2% of men, in 20.8% of women. There is an emerging stenosis in 8.5% of those who have PDU, which requires a gastric drainage operation. The subjects of choice may be Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty or Jadd excision of an ulcer on the anterior wall. It is advisable to suture or excise an ulcer with pyloroplasty accompanied by vagotomy that normalizes the acid-proteolytic activity of gastric juice in the postoperative period and eliminates need for antisecretory drugs to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

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.
