Spectrum of perforation peritonitis at a tertiary healthcare centre: A prospective cohort study of 1908 cases

Conclusion Perforation peritonitis is still a dreadful disease. Malignancy is a rare cause in our region. Resuscitation before surgery improves outcome. The formation of only a stoma in bowel perforations and omentopexy in the stomach and duodenum perforations rather than extensive emergency surgery contribute to low mortality.
