Nontraumatic terminal ileal perforation, a cause of obscure peritonitis, requires careful diagnosis and surgical management. Enteric fever is the leading cause, and simple closure or ileotransverse anastomosis are common surgical approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Nontraumatic terminal ileal perforation presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • It is a significant cause of obscure peritonitis, particularly in developing nations.
  • Optimal surgical strategies remain a subject of debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the clinical characteristics.
  • To identify the etiologies of nontraumatic terminal ileal perforation.
  • To determine the optimal surgical management for these cases.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study design.
  • Inclusion of patients diagnosed with nontraumatic terminal ileal perforation.
  • Evaluation of clinical presentation, causative factors, and surgical interventions.

Main Results:

  • Seventy-nine cases were analyzed.
  • Enteric fever (62%) was the predominant cause, followed by nonspecific inflammation (26%).
  • Surgical management primarily involved simple closure (49%) and end-to-side ileotransverse anastomosis (42%).

Conclusions:

  • Terminal ileal perforation should be considered in peritonitis cases, especially in developing countries.
  • Optimizing surgical treatment based on etiology, delay, and findings is crucial.
  • Effective management aims to reduce complications such as fecal fistula.
