[Perforated post-bulbar ulcer. Anatomoclinical characteristics and surgical treatment]

A total of 59 clinical observations were analyzed, dealing with perforated post-bulbar ulceration. The patients were hospitalized and underwent surgery in the Clinic for Surgery of the Emergency Hospital from Bucharest between 1968 and 1979. The frequency of the perforated post-bulbar ulcer, compared to the total number of patients operated for perforated bulbar ulcer over the same period of time was of 1.41%. The important factors were analyzed, which have influenced the clinical evolution and the surgical treatment. These are : age, the interval between the onset of the symptoms and the time of hospitalization, the symptoms presenting on hospitalization, the anatomo-clinical forms which were encountered during surgery, as well as the type of the surgical interventions. The surgical interventions were practiced in accordance with the general and the local conditions of each patient. A death-rate of 5.08% was recorded in the group.
