ABSTRACT
Hollow viscous perforation is one of the most common emergency dealt by general surgeons worldwide. A high degree of suspicion is required and prompt management is warranted to reduce morbidity and mortality. Here we present a study of perforative peritonitis in our medical college at the outskirt of Udaipur city in the state of Rajasthan, India during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the one year study period from September 2020 to August 2021, a total of 16 cases of hollow viscous perforation admitted and treated. The number is relatively low because of the pandemic and there was a period of total lockdown with negligible patient footfall. All patient had free gas under diaphragm in plain x-ray and all of them were scheduled for emergency laparotomy after adequate resuscitation. Emphasis given on the location of perforation, etiology, organism on culture of peritoneal fluid and procedure undertaken. Copyright © 2022, Dr Yashwant Research Labs Pvt Ltd. All rights reserved.
