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.
