Use the falciform ligament flap for the treatment of perforated peptic ulcer
Full description
Peptic ulcer perforation (PUP) is one in all the foremost common critical surgical emergencies. The omentum flap is usually wont to cover a PUP. However, the omentum can not be utilized in cases of severe peritonitis or previous surgical removal. this is often the primary study conducted in Vietnam that was designed to analyse the outcomes of patients with PUPs who were treated using the ligament.
In the population, the prevalence of ulcer disease supported physician diagnosis ranges from 0.12% to 1.50%, and hospitalization rates range from 0.10% to 0.19%. ulceration perforation (PUP) is one of the foremost common surgical emergencies worldwide, which is necessitate emergent surgical intervention.
the death rate of PUPs is between 1.3% and 20%, and mortality thanks to a perforation of a gastric ulcer is over mortality because of a perforation of a duodenal ulcer (40% vs 10%) . Some studies have shown that having comorbidities, being over 70 years old, undergoing surgical procedure after 36 h, PUP diameter greater than 1 cm2 and postoperative com- plications are associated with mortality. The technique of using the omental patch for repair PUP is commonest now thanks to mobility and vascularity but is also using the falciform ligament in some cases due to highly vascularity.
The technique of using the falciform ligament for the treatment of PUPs was reported in 1978 by Fry . The purpose of the study was to explain the technique and therefore the results of using the falciform ligament for the treat- ment of PUPs during a large volume surgical centre in Assuit university hospital found the falciform patch to be a successful technique in repair PUP and is assumed to be as effective as omental patch but more advantage because of highly vascular.
