Gastric perforation mortality rate

Gastric perforation is a very common phenomenon in normal times. However, under normal circumstances, if it is treated actively, the prognosis is very good. When gastric perforation occurs, our body usually will have some symptoms. For example, most people will have severe upper abdominal pain, and some people will also have symptoms such as pale complexion and cold sweats. If gastric perforation occurs, it must be treated actively. Failure to treat it in time will cause great harm to your health.

Is gastric perforation fatality rate high?

Gastric perforation is one of the most serious complications of gastric ulcer disease. The patient's gastric perforation is mainly caused by overeating, which can cause an increase in gastric acid and pepsin, and can easily induce gastric perforation. Gastric perforation can result in death if not treated promptly.

The damage caused by gastric perforation to each patient is different. It can be treated by surgery or other treatment methods, and the effectiveness varies from person to person. After the gastric perforation surgery, the specific survival time will vary from person to person, and there is no standard or fixed answer.

Once gastric perforation occurs, gastrointestinal fluid will seep into the abdominal cavity from the perforation site. After repeated stimulation and accumulation of various fluids in the abdominal cavity, a large number of bacteria will be produced, causing peritonitis, which will lead to the occurrence of multiple complications in the human body and ultimately cause the death of the patient. In addition, gastric bleeding is prone to occur after gastric perforation, and excessive bleeding may cause the patient to go into shock and die.

Because gastric perforation can cause complications in the human body, after gastric perforation occurs, the patient should use surgery to suture the perforated area to ensure that the various muscle walls of the stomach can heal completely and will not cause various gastrointestinal fluids to further penetrate into the abdominal cavity, and prevent other gastric bleeding and cause death.

For the occurrence of gastric perforation, the general treatment is surgery or drug therapy. Surgical treatment is a relatively direct treatment method. After surgical repair and removal of gastric perforation, it can be cured fundamentally. Because the size of gastric perforation is different and the damage caused to the body is different, the treatment effect after surgery will also vary from person to person. After gastric perforation surgery, it is uncertain how long it will take for the patient to recover.

Although gastric perforation can be treated through surgery, it is also possible to treat the perforated area through drug therapy. Therefore, there will naturally be great variability in the specific survival time. As for these detailed changes, they are different for each patient. During gastric perforation surgery, the survival time will change, so the specific survival time may be several years, decades, etc.

To sum up, when treating gastric perforation, patients can use surgical treatment, but gastric perforation surgery is not the only treatment method. Drug treatment can also solve the problem of gastric perforation. Therefore, how long a patient can live after gastric perforation surgery has a lot to do with the patient's physical condition and psychological quality, and its timing cannot be fixed or standardized.
