Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying risk factors for leaks after omentopexy in patients with perforated duodenal ulcers.
- Out of 100 patients, 9 experienced leaks, resulting in a high mortality rate (44.4%) for those affected.
- Significant risk factors identified included low body mass index and high serum creatinine levels, suggesting that monitoring these could help reduce complications.
Gastro-inestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) comprise 1-2% of all gastrointestinal (GI) tumours. The mesentery, retroperitoneum and omentum are common sites of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumours (E-GISTs). Isolated involvement of the mesentery by tuberculosis (TB) without any evidence of pulmonary disease is quite unusual.

Methods: Data were maintained prospectively on 224 patients of secondary peritonitis over a period of 10 years. Arterial lactate measurements were performed twice in each patient - once, initially on admission (AL ) and the other, 24 h after surgery (AL ); from these values, percentage lactate clearance was calculated.
