Abstract
AIMS Duodenal ulcer perforations are frequently encountered but there is limited literature regarding risk factors for leak after omentopexy. METHODOLOGY The record of 100 patients of duodenal ulcer perforation undergoing omentopexy by open approach was prospectively maintained to identify any significant factors contributing towards leak. RESULTS Out of 100 patients undergoing omentopexy, 9 (9%) developed leak; when leak occurred, the mortality was very high (44.4%). Patients who developed leak (09) were compared against those who did not (91), and it was seen that seen that duration of symptoms before surgery (> 3 days), amount of intra-abdominal contamination (> 2 L), low body mass index (BMI < 19.35 kg/m2), serum creatinine (> 1.5 mg/dl), and deranged International Normalized Ratio (INR) were found to be significant on univariate analysis; however, multivariate analysis revealed only low BMI and high creatinine to be contributory towards leak. CONCLUSION Leak after omentopexy carries a high morbidity and mortality. Identification of risk factors may help in optimizing patients at risk and reduce the incidence of leak and its sequelae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforated peptic ulcer is a life-threatening complication with a high morbidity and mortality. It is the most common indication for emergency operation in peptic ulcer disease (PUD) patients. This study aimed to describe the pattern of presentation, management and early outcome in patients with perforated PUD. METHODS This was a prospective study of patients who had operation for perforated PUD at Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria from June 2015 to May 2020. RESULTS Forty-six patients were studied with their ages ranging from 21-85 years. Their mean age was 49.9±16.3 years while the median was 54 years. Males outnumbered females by a ratio of 5.5:1. Majority (56.5%) of the patients were farmers and artisans. Duration of symptoms was 6 hours to 9 days (mean 2.7±1.9 days). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use, herbal concoction, alcohol and smoking was found in 54.3%, 52.2%, 30.4% and 21.7% respectively. More duodenal perforations (63.0%) were recorded. Graham's patch closure was done for 27 (58.7%) while the remaining (41.3%) had primary closure with omentoplasty. Sixteen (34.8%) had postoperative complications with wound infection predominating. Overall postoperative mortality was 17.4%. Age ≥ 60 years (p=0.04), premorbid illness (p=0.01), delayed presentation ≥ 48 hours (p=0.01), shock (p=0.01) and intraperitoneal effluent ≥ 2000ml (p=0.03) were associated with mortalities. CONCLUSION Perforated PUD accounts for high morbidities and mortalities in our setting. Abuse of NSAIDs and herbal concoction ranked highest among the risk factors. Efforts at curtailing indiscriminate sales of NSAIDs and herbal concoction will reduce the menace.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to estimate disease burden, clinical features, and outcome in the emergency surgical management of peptic perforation in a rural government tertiary care center where patients are socioeconomically very poor and also impacted by lack of good quality health-care facility. Materials and Methods The study had retrospectively analyzed 121 patients with peptic perforation who had undergone emergency laparotomy at Midnapore medical college, West Bengal, India, from June 2018 to December 2019. All patients >12 years were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were other traumatic and nontraumatic gastrointestinal perforations. Results The study population had 112 males and 9 females with a mean age of 44.80 ± 15.29 years and maximum incidence in the 6th decade (P = 0.001). Smoking and alcohol were associated with 54.5% and 49.6%, respectively. The symptoms were pain abdomen (100%) with vomiting (38.8%) and fever (33.9%). The signs of hypotension, peritonitis, distension, and pneumoperitoneum were observed in 34.7%, 64.5%, 39.7%, and 83.5%, respectively. Only 20.7% of patients were admitted within the first 24 h. The mean duration of symptoms was 2.3 days. Most perforations were located on the duodenum (74.4%) with duodenal to gastric perforation ratio 2.9:1. The mean size was 1.02 cm. Chest infection (19%) was the most common complication. The mortality rate was 9.1%. The mean length of hospital stay was 11.1 days. Conclusion Peptic perforation remains a major disease burden in our environment predominantly due to late presentation, leading to high morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforated gastrodudenal ulcer (PGDU) is an operative emergency with high mortality rates. The growing elderly population increasingly presents with need for geriatric acute operative care. Current knowledge of age-specific characteristics in presentation, diagnosis, and outcome for PGDU in the elderly is scarce. METHODS We reviewed a consecutive, population-based cohort of patients with PGDU, octa- and nonagenarians were compared with younger patients for variation in patterns of presentation and outcomes. Patterns and outcomes observed included 30-day mortality, serious complications (Clavien-Dindo 3 and 4), and duration of stay. RESULTS Of the 244 patients, 127 were women (52%); median age was 68 years; and 59 patients (24.2%) were ≥80 years. Two thirds had gastric ulcers (n = 168; 67.2%). On admission, hemoglobin levels, white blood cell count, and serum levels of C-reactive protein, bilirubin, and albumin differed significantly between the age groups. Diagnosis, treatment, and the occurrence of severe complications did not differ with age. The median hours of delay to definitive treatment did not differ significantly for all ages, but patients ≥80 years had a greater proportion (44.1% compared with 25.8%) of delay >12 hours (odds ratio 2.26, 95% confidence interval 1.22-4.17; P = .008). Overall mortality was 38 (15.6%); no deaths occurred in patients <55 years. Over one half of deaths occurred in those ≥80 years (odds ratio 4.76, 2.30-9.83; P < .001). Duration of hospital stay was significantly greater in elderly survivors, and fewer were discharged within a week. CONCLUSION Octa- and nonagenarians with PGDU present with fewer signs of peritonitis and have an attenuated inflammatory response. The very elderly have twice the risk of long delays to definitive treatment and almost 5 times increased risk of mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peptic ulcer disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a significant burden in low- and middle-income countries. However, there is limited information regarding management of peptic ulcer disease in these countries. This study describes surgical interventions for peptic ulcer disease in sub-Saharan Africa. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and African Index Medicus for studies describing surgical management of peptic ulcer disease in sub-Saharan Africa. RESULTS From 55 published reports, 6594 patients underwent surgery for peptic ulcer disease. Most ulcers (86%) were duodenal with the remainder gastric (14%). Thirty-five percent of operations were performed for perforation, 7% for bleeding, 30% for obstruction, and 28% for chronic disease. Common operations included vagotomy (60%) and primary repair (31%). The overall case fatality rate for peptic ulcer disease was 5.7% and varied with indication for operation: 13.6% for perforation, 11.5% for bleeding, 0.5% for obstruction, and 0.3% for chronic disease. CONCLUSION Peptic ulcer disease remains a significant indication for surgery in sub-Saharan Africa. Recognizing the continued role of surgery for peptic ulcer disease in sub-Saharan Africa is important for strengthening surgical training programs and optimizing allocation of resources.

Abstract
Perforated peptic ulcer is a common emergency condition worldwide, with associated mortality rates of up to 30%. A scarcity of high-quality studies about the condition limits the knowledge base for clinical decision making, but a few published randomised trials are available. Although Helicobacter pylori and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are common causes, demographic differences in age, sex, perforation location, and underlying causes exist between countries, and mortality rates also vary. Clinical prediction rules are used, but accuracy varies with study population. Early surgery, either by laparoscopic or open repair, and proper sepsis management are essential for good outcome. Selected patients can be managed non-operatively or with novel endoscopic approaches, but validation of such methods in trials is needed. Quality of care, sepsis care bundles, and postoperative monitoring need further assessment. Adequate trials with low risk of bias are urgently needed to provide better evidence. We summarise the evidence for perforated peptic ulcer management and identify directions for future clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforations of the stomach and duodenum are common complications of peptic ulcer disease (PUD), abuse of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and gastric cancer. Being a life threatening complication of PUD, it needs special attention with prompt resuscitation and appropriate surgical management if morbidity and mortality are to be avoided. AIM To determine the pattern and management outcome of perforated peptic ulcer disease PUD as seen in University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria). METHODOLOGY All the patients with perforated PUD that were managed at UPTH between January 2006 and December 2014 were studied. Relevant data were extracted from the case notes and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. RESULTS Thirty six patients with perforated PUD were evaluated consisting of 28 males and 8 females with a male to female ratio of 3.5:1. Their ages ranged from 24 to 65 years with a mean of 42.1± 12.3 years and the peak age was at the third decade. After adequate resuscitation, all the patients had exploratory laparotomy. In 26 (72.2%) patients, the perforation was in the duodenum while in 10 (27.8%), it was in the stomach. Thirty two (88.9%) patients had Graham's omental patch repair of the perforation while simple closure only was done in 4 (11.1%) patients. Surgical site infection was the commonest post operative complication which was seen in 7 (19.4%) patients while 4 patients died giving a mortality rate of 11.1%. CONCLUSION Perforated peptic ulcer predominantly affected young males and Graham's omental patch followed by Helicobacter pylori eradication was an effective treatment modality.
