SCHAERER ELIZECHE, Pablo et al. Prevalence of neoplasm in perforated gastric ulcers in the General Surgery Department - IPS Central Hospital, 2015-2020. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.56, n.1, pp.68-74. ISSN 1816-8949. https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2023.056.01.68.
Introduction:
Perforated gastric ulcer is the most frequent ulcerative complication after bleeding and the most serious of all; as inflammation progresses, gastric lesion evolves, beginning with superficial gastritis, then chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and finally cancer; hence the importance of performing a biopsy in the surgical approach of perforated gastric ulcer.
Objectives:
To determine the prevalence of neoplasia in perforated gastric ulcers in the General Surgery service of the Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social in the period 2015-2020.
Materials and methods:
An observational descriptive cross-sectional study with retrospective data was carried out.
Results:
50 patients who underwent surgery for perforated gastric ulcer were included. The average age was 67.1 ± 17.1 years, 60% were male; 94% underwent edge revival and 6% antrectomy. Regarding the anatomopathological diagnosis, 90% confirmed the inflammatory process, the prevalence of neoplasia was 6%, and in the total number of postoperative patients for perforated gastric ulcer, 46% mortality was confirmed.
Conclusion:
The average age was 67.1 years and the male sex predominated. The most frequent surgical procedure was edge revival and the most prevalent pathological diagnosis was inflammatory process. The prevalence of neoplasia was minimal in patients undergoing surgery for perforated gastric ulcer. A high percentage of mortality was identified in postoperative patients for perforated gastric ulcer.
