Abstract
PURPOSE the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and therapeutic aspects of non-traumatic digestive perforations at the Koutiala Reference Health Center. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective and descriptive study from August 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Patients admitted and operated on for non-traumatic digestive perforation were included. The parameters studied were age, sex, frequency, clinical aspects, etiologies, treatment and operative follow-up. RESULT Sixty-one patients were registered. Non-traumatic digestive perforations accounted for 78.2% of cases of acute peritonitis (n = 78). Men were in the majority with 73.8%. The average age was 34.5 years old. The symptomatology was represented by abdominal pain in all patients, vomiting in 56 patients and fever in 42 patients. The mean duration of evolution of the symptomatology was 5.5 days. On physical examination, the most common signs were abdominal contracture with 81.9%, disappearance of prehepatic maturation (52.4%) and pain in rectal examination (95.1%). Radiological pneumoperitoneum was found in 39 patients. The serodiagnosis of Widal was positive in 15 cases. The etiologies were dominated by perforation of infectious origin with 77.0% (46). The perforation was ileal in 28 patients, appendicular in 18 patients and gastroduodenal in 11 patients. Excision-suturing of the perforation was done in 30 patients, resection anastomosis in 8 patients and appendectomy in 18 patients. Morbidity and mortality were respectively 14.7% and 6.5%. CONCLUSION Non-traumatic digestive perforations are the first cause of peritonitis in our department. The ileal seat is the most common and is most often secondary to typhoid fever. Morbidity and mortality remain high and this result is a reflection of late diagnosis which is the main factor of severity of digestive perforations.
