ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with a history of sudden onset abdominal pain and obstipation of 1 day's duration. During laparatomy, a 5mm perforation was seen in the anterior wall of the first part of the duodenum, which was closed by a Graham patch and the abdomen was closed after peritoneal lavage. Postoperatively, the patient's condition worsened and he was posted for a laparatomy with a diagnosis of postoperative obstruction. During the laparatomy, an ileocolic was seen which could be easily reduced. After the second surgery, the patient made an uneventful recover.
