EVALUATING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH DUODENAL ULCERS WHO ARE ADMITTED TO INDIAN HEALTHCARE CENTER FOR SURGERY

Abstract

Background: It is crucial to investigate this matter because perforation of duodenal ulcers is typically identified by the abrupt shedding of the ulcer's base, which is ascribed to a compromised blood supply that causes the duodenum or stomach contents to leak into the peritoneal cavity and cause an acute diffuse peritonitis. 
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients with duodenal ulcers who were admitted to Indian Healthcare Center for surgery.  
Methods: During the specified study period, 120 patients with duodenal ulcer perforation who were admitted to the Institute were evaluated for this investigation. Operative information, including the kind and location of the surgery, was evaluated for each individual. Death following surgery was considered mortality.  
Results: The study's findings indicated that, out of all the participants evaluated, the diagnosis was made using a simple abdominal X-ray while the participant was upright. Pneumo-peritoneum was discovered in 110 (91.67%) of the 120 study participants who were evaluated for the research. 
Conclusion: According to the current study, duodenal perforation is a common finding among study participants, with a greater prevalence observed in those from lower socioeconomic groups.
