Abstract

Perforated peptic ulcer is one of the commonest surgical emergencies. Advanced age, preoperative shock, coexisting medical illness and delay in treatment are common risk factors associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Hence patients should be assessed and treated early. The present study is carried out in respect to the above critical and prognosis bearing factor. 380 cases of perforated peptic ulcer admitted to V.S.S. Medical College Hospital, Burla were studied from September, 2010 to August, 2012. Those cases that were lost to follow up were excluded from the study.
