    Summary

    Younger patients with perforated acute duodenal ulcers face higher recurrence risks. Immediate surgery may be beneficial for this demographic to prevent complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Perforated peptic ulcers are a significant surgical emergency.
    • Understanding the distinct clinical courses of acute versus chronic perforated duodenal ulcers is crucial for effective management.
    • Previous studies have not fully elucidated the long-term outcomes and recurrence patterns specific to acute perforations treated with closure alone.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing surgical closure for perforated acute duodenal ulcers.
    • To compare the recurrence rates and long-term prognosis of acute versus chronic perforated duodenal ulcers.
    • To identify risk factors for early recurrence in patients with perforated acute duodenal ulcers.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 60 patients treated with surgical closure for perforated duodenal ulcers.
    • Classification of ulcers into acute and chronic types.
    • Follow-up assessment of clinical outcomes, including recurrence and need for reoperation.

    Main Results:

    • Patients with acute perforated duodenal ulcers were older and had higher hospital mortality compared to those with chronic ulcers.
    • While chronic ulcers recurred more frequently within three years post-closure, acute ulcers often presented with symptomatic relapses requiring reoperation.
    • Younger patients (<30 years) with acute perforated duodenal ulcers demonstrated a significantly increased risk of early recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute perforated duodenal ulcers present unique challenges with a higher risk of symptomatic recurrence, even after initial surgical closure.
    • Younger individuals (<30 years) with acute perforations are at elevated risk for early relapses.
    • Consideration of immediate definitive surgical intervention should be evaluated for younger patients diagnosed with perforated acute duodenal ulcers to mitigate recurrence and associated complications.
