Abstract

Perforated gastric or duodenal ulcer in most patients is better treated by emergency operation. It consists of simple closure of perforation by three interrupted stitches. Omentoplasty is an additional safety step. Large perforated gastric ulcer is better treated by partial gastrectomy if the condition of the patient permits.
