Title: | Perforated giant peptic ulcer of the stomach in a female patient with multiple sclerosis | Authors: | Nikolovski, Andrej Mickovska, Kristina Argirov, Ivan Maznevska, Lidija |
Issue Date: | Jul-2024 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press (OUP) | Journal: | Journal of surgical case reports | Abstract: | Giant peptic ulcer of the stomach is defined with a diameter of more than 3 cm. About 2/3 of them are benign peptic ulcers and perforate in 1%-2% of all peptic ulcer stomach perforations. High rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality are reported. The treatment options include omental patch repair, jejunal serosal patch repair, duodenal exclusion, and gastric resection. Postoperative omental patch repair failure is reported and is strongly associated with the ulcer diameter. This case reports a giant peptic stomach ulcer perforation in a female patient treated successfully with omental patch repair, according to Cellan-Jones. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/31100 | ISSN: | 2042-8812 | DOI: | 10.1093/jscr/rjae466 |
