INTRODUCTION
2-10% peptic ulcers perforate
M>F; trend towards more patients being
female, older, using NSAID, and having
gastric ulcers
Etiology

H. pylori, NSAID, stress, gastrinoma, crack

Giant gastric ulcers >3 cm greater risk of


malignancy (up to 30%) and complications

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS


Pain - sudden, severe, constant, rebound,
guarding, rigid abdomen; radiates to R
scapula with subphrenic abscess
Decreased bowel sounds, fever, tachycardia

MANAGEMENT
To operate or not?

How sick is patient

Patch?
- Open or laparoscopic
- Role of PPI and H. pylori antibiotics

Need definitive surgery?


- Which definitive surgery
www.downstatesurgery.org

Perforated
ulcer

Nonoperative

Patch

Definitive
Ulcer
Operation
www.downstatesurgery.org

To operate or not
Nonoperative in highly selected patients
Perforation must be sealed

Acute ulcer, or chronic ulcer in high-risk patient


Operate if deteriorate or no improvement in 12
hours

Donovan et al. Ann Surg 1979

Perforated

Patch

Definitive
Ulcer
Operation
www.downstatesurgery.org

How sick is patient


Emergency surgery for perforated ulcer with
mortality of 6-30%
Definitive ulcer surgery often deferred with
shock, poor-risk patient, age >70, prolonged
perforation, abscess, or generalized peritonitis

Lui et al. Scand J Surg 2010

Boey score
1 point each for
preoperative shock
severe comorbidities
longstanding perforation >24 hr

Open vs. laparoscopic patch


Graham patch popularized by Roscoe Graham,
1937
www.downstatesurgery.org

Laparoscopic omental patch

Variable techniques
Convert to open with: large ulcer, friable ulcer
edge, posterior location of ulcer, unable to
localize ulcer; also shock, delayed presentation
>24 hrs
www.downstatesurgery.org

No significant difference in mortality or morbidity


Conversion rate of 8%
Sanabria et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2005
www.downstatesurgery.org

Sutureless patch with gelatin sponge and


fibrin glue

Gastric ulcers - risk of malignancy biopsy


or excision
www.downstatesurgery.org

PPI and H. pylori antibiotics


About 1/3 patients with just patch closure
have ulcer recurrence
H. pylori tests: serology, urease breath test,
rapid urease assay, biopsy
Treatment of H. pylori
Amoxicillin, clarithromycin, PPI;
metronidazole, bismuth
Able to decrease ulcer recurrence at 1 year
to 5%
Must test for eradication to determine need
for 2nd treatment or definitive ulcer surgery

Indications
Unable to afford the meds, noncompliance
Intractable, multiple, or large ulcers
Hemorrhage accompanying the perforation
Gastric outlet obstruction
Gastric ulcer
www.downstatesurgery.org

Which definitive ulcer operation

Duodenal perforation
Truncal vagotomy and drainage
Highly selective vagotomy

Gastric perforation
Truncal vagotomy and drainage and ulcer
excision
Truncal vagotomy, antrectomy; gastrectomy
www.downstatesurgery.org

A.) Truncal vagotomy, drainage


L anterior and R posterior vagal trunks; frozen
section
Heineke-Mickulicz pyloroplasty
www.downstatesurgery.org

If scarring of pylorus or duodenum, then


Finney pyloroplasty or Jaboulay
gastroduodenostomy

Advantage: safe and quick


Disadvantage: diarrhea, dumping syndrome
www.downstatesurgery.org

B.) Highly selective vagotomy


Aka parietal cell vagotomy, proximal gastric
vagotomy
Spare nerves of Latarjet, hepatic and celiac
branches
Include criminal nerve of Grassi
www.downstatesurgery.org

Advantage: safe, less side-effects


Disadvantage: highest recurrence, longer
operation, requires more skill
www.downstatesurgery.org
C.) Truncal vagotomy, antrectomy; gastrectomy
Inclusion of vagotomy and extent of surgery
based on type of gastric ulcer
www.downstatesurgery.org

Reconstruction
Billroth I - gastroduodenostomy
Billroth II gastrojejunostomy
www.downstatesurgery.org

Advantage: reduces acid the most, lowest


recurrence rate
Disadvantage: diarrhea, dumping, post-
gastrectomy syndromes, not suitable if
extensive inflammation or scarring which
compromise the anastomosis

QUESTIONS
1. A 45 yr old man requires surgery for
intractable duodenal ulcer. Which best
prevents ulcer recurrence?

a. Subtotal gastrectomy
b. Truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty
c. Truncal vagotomy and antrectomy
d. Parietal cell vagotomy
www.downstatesurgery.org

2. The pathogenesis of benign type I gastric


ulcer is predominantly which?

a. Hypersecretion of acid
b. Hypergastrinemia due to gastric stasis
c. Antral stasis
d. Hyperpepsinogenemia
e. Defective mucosal barrier
www.downstatesurgery.org

3. A 52M has ulcer-like pain 15 years after a highly


selective vagotomy, and EGD shows a recurrent
duodenal ulcer, H. pylori negative. The most likely
explanation for his recurrent ulcer is

a. Incomplete vagotomy
b. Gastrinoma
c. Antral G-cell hyperplasia
d. Bile reflux
e. Occasional NSAID use
