Peptic ulceration and sigmoid volvulus in India
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
|March 1, 1981
Summary
This study reviews surgical outcomes for benign peptic ulceration and sigmoid volvulus in North India. Vagotomy and gastroenterostomy were common for ulcers, while resection or colopexy addressed volvulus.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Outcomes
- Abdominal Surgery
Background:
- Benign peptic ulceration and sigmoid volvulus are significant surgical conditions.
- North India presents unique demographic and etiological factors for these diseases.
- Effective surgical management is crucial for patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze surgical results in patients with benign peptic ulceration.
- To evaluate treatment outcomes for sigmoid volvulus.
- To discuss the etiology of both conditions in the North Indian context.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 126 patients with benign peptic ulceration.
- Retrospective analysis of 57 patients with sigmoid volvulus.
- Surgical procedures included vagotomy, gastroenterostomy, resection with anastomosis, and colopexy.
Main Results:
- Complications of peptic ulceration, excluding stenosis, were infrequent.
- Vagotomy and gastroenterostomy were the predominant surgical interventions for peptic ulcers.
- Resection with immediate anastomosis treated gangrenous sigmoid volvulus; colopexy managed non-gangrenous cases.
Conclusions:
- Surgical interventions for benign peptic ulceration in North India are associated with low complication rates.
- Specific surgical approaches effectively manage both gangrenous and non-gangrenous sigmoid volvulus.
- Understanding the etiology is key to optimizing treatment strategies for these gastrointestinal conditions.

01:30Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is characterized by mucosal excavation in the esophagus, stomach, pylorus, or duodenum. It can manifest as acute or chronic based on the extent and duration of mucosal involvement.
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

01:21Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

01:27Peptic Ulcer
Peptic ulcers are erosive lesions of the gastric or duodenal lining, most commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This Gram-negative, helical bacterium has adapted to survive the stomach’s acidic environment by producing urease, which converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia neutralizes gastric acid in the bacterium’s immediate environment, allowing colonization of the gastric mucosa. H. pylori attaches to mucus-secreting epithelial cells, penetrates the mucus...
01:25Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) involves breaks in the gastrointestinal tract's mucosal lining, primarily in the stomach and duodenum, with less frequent occurrences in the lower esophagus or near the pylorus.Ulcers can be acute or chronic. Acute ulcers are short-lived with minimal inflammation and heal quickly after the irritant is removed. Chronic ulcers persist, may recur, and often cause scarring due to ongoing tissue damage. Superficial erosions affect only the mucosal layer and are called...
01:25Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Complications
Duodenal UlcersDuodenal ulcers are the most common form of peptic ulcer disease, presenting with chronic, intermittent epigastric pain. Pain typically appears 2–3 hours after meals, especially when the stomach is empty, often waking patients at night. It is characteristically relieved by food or antacids (“pain–food–relief”). Some patients remain asymptomatic until complications like bleeding or perforation emerge, particularly with NSAID or anticoagulant use.Gastric UlcersGastric ulcers share...
