Routine versus selective upper gastrointestinal contrast series after omental patch repair for gastric or duodenal perforation.

Background: There are no guidelines on the routine or selective use of contrast upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) after omental patch repair (OPR) of a gastric (GP) or duodenal perforation (DP). This study aims to elucidate whether the use of selective versus routine contrast study will lead to worse clinical outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 115 (n = 115) patients with OPR of GP or DP was performed.

Perforated duodenal diverticulum case report.

Introduction: The duodenum is the second most common location of intestinal diverticula following the colon (Juler et al., 1969) [1]. Only 1-5% of patients with duodenal diverticula become symptomatic (Oukachbi, 2013) [2].
