Perforated Ulcers
Prompt Diagnosis and Evaluation:
- Thorough evaluation of symptoms and medical history to promptly diagnose perforated ulcers.
- Utilization of diagnostic tests such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or imaging studies like CT scans to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the perforation.
Emergency Surgical Intervention:
- Emergency laparotomy: Immediate surgical procedure to repair the perforation and address any complications, preventing further leakage of stomach contents into the abdominal cavity.
- Closure of the perforation: Surgical technique to close the hole in the ulcer and restore the integrity of the stomach or intestinal wall.
Comprehensive Postoperative Care and Monitoring:
- Intensive care management: Close monitoring in the postoperative period to ensure stabilization and recovery.
- Tailored treatment plans: Individualized postoperative care to promote healing, prevent infections, and minimize the risk of ulcer recurrence.
