ABSTRACT
Out of 603 patients with perforated ulcer, 40 clinical cases with type I perforated gastric ulcers (this particular anatomo-clinical form being distinguished from the perforated duodenal ulcer) were selected. The perforated gastric ulcer type I, less common, is usually found in the patients over 45 years, with old, callous ulcers; in general, when the perforations are large, a malignancy is suspected, the removal of the lesion and the systemic control of the resected specimen being required. The primary radical surgical treatment is performed only in the patients in good general state, the excision of the ulcer followed by suture being reserved to the cases at high risk, with increased mortality (10%).
