RESUMO
Perforation peritonitis is common cause of abdominal emergency. The morbidity and mortality associated with this condition is very high. Methods: The present hospital based study included 55 patients with perforation peritonitis admitted at the department of surgery. Data regarding clinical features, management and complications was noted. Results: Most of the patients had perforation in duodenum (58.2%). Pain abdomen was the most common complain (96.4%). Wound infection was seen in 23.6%, pneumonia in 27.3% and abdominal collection in18.2%. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis of perforation peritonitis is essential.
RESUMO
Anatomical variations in the arterial supply of adult human stomach have long baffled even themost experienced surgeons during surgical manipulation of the stomach. The stomach develops from the foregut hence its arterial supply is derived from the coeliac trunk. The present study is aimed at observing the anatomical variations of the arteries supplying the stomach. This study has been conducted on fifty cadavers during routine dissections. The aberrant arteries observed have both embryological and clinical significance. A comprehensive knowledge of the arteries nourishing the stomach along with their anomalies is vital for the surgeons to avoid iatrogenic complications during surgical manipulation involving the organ.
