Surgical management of perforated gastric ulcers remains challenging. Gastric resection demonstrated significantly lower mortality compared to simple oversewing, suggesting it as a safer emergency procedure for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Perforated gastric ulcers are rare, complicating standardized surgical approaches.
  • A 36-year retrospective review of 77 patients with peritonitis from perforated gastric ulcers was conducted.
  • Gastric cancer was found in 7 cases (9%) upon microscopic examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review institutional experience with perforated gastric ulcer.
  • To compare the outcomes of gastric resection versus simple ulcer oversewing.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 77 patients undergoing surgery for perforated gastric ulcer.
  • Comparison of mortality rates between gastric resection and ulcer oversewing.
  • Evaluation of patient demographics, comorbidities, and operative choices.

Main Results:

  • Overall postoperative mortality decreased recently but remained high at 20.8%.
  • Gastric resection (32 patients) had a mortality rate of 2.9%, while simple oversewing (40 patients) had a mortality rate of 33.3%.
  • Patients undergoing oversewing were older and had poorer general medical status.

Conclusions:

  • Emergency gastrectomy is a viable procedure with acceptable risk in carefully selected patients.
  • Simple ulcer oversewing is associated with significantly higher mortality.
  • Optimal management requires careful patient selection based on medical status and disease progression.
