This study of perforated benign gastric ulcers found simple closure was the most common surgery. High mortality rates were linked to elderly patients, comorbidities, and delayed treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Research
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Perforated benign gastric ulcers represent a significant surgical emergency.
  • Understanding patient demographics and treatment outcomes is crucial for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze surgical outcomes for perforated benign gastric ulcers.
  • To identify factors influencing mortality in these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 297 patients operated on for perforated benign gastric ulcers between 1975 and 1984 in Denmark.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, ulcer location, surgical procedure, and mortality.

Main Results:

  • Mean age was 64.2 years, with a male:female ratio of 0.9:1.

  • Gastric perforations were more common in elderly women, while prepyloric perforations were more frequent in younger men.
  • Simple closure was the predominant surgical approach (83%), followed by gastric resection (14%).
  • The overall postoperative mortality rate was 21%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mortality in perforated benign gastric ulcers is associated with advanced age, comorbidities, and delayed treatment.
    • Simple closure remains the primary surgical intervention.
    • Further research into optimizing treatment strategies for high-risk patients is warranted.
