INTRODUCTION
Duodenal ulcer disease which was once so common 3-4 decades ago has drastically decreased in its incidence due to invent of PPIs and anti H. Pylori therapy. But percentage of patients with complications of duodenal ulcer has not shown a similar decline. In spite of understanding the disease effective resuscitation and prompt surgery there is still High incidence of morbidity and mortality. Hence in this study an attempt is made to analyse the various factors which effect the morbidity, mortality of patients with duodenal ulcer perforation and management of the same.
AIMS
The objective is to study,
1. The factors responsible for duodenal ulcer perforation.
2. The factors that affect the post-operative outcome.
3. Morbidity, mortality after surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Fifty patient’s case sheets were selected retrospectively who were diagnosed as duodenal ulcer perforation, admitted in MIMS Hospital, Mandya. Between 2012 to 2014 patients underwent Graham's omentoplasty. All the data related to the objectives of the study were collected.
RESULTS
Majority of patients belong to the. Age group of 30-50 years and commonly males Most of the perforations occur in first part of duodenum low socio-economic group, O+ve blood group with maximum seasonal incidence in October-January All cases were managed by Graham's omentoplasty. Four per cent of mortality noted.
CONCLUSION
Duodenal ulcer perforation is one of the common acute abdominal emergencies. The peak incidence between 30 and 50 years, majority cases males, common in lower socio–economic group, unskilled workers, maximum incidence period October-January, increased morbidity and mortality when perforation time period >24 hours, maximum in patient with blood group o+, early diagnosis and septicaemia management necessary for patients better prognosis, emergency procedure is Graham’s omentoplasty (perforations<2cm) with H. pylori eradication treatment. Mortality noticed in longer duration of presentation, larger perforations with associated co-morbidities.
