%X Background: The evolutionary profile of patients operated for
peptic ulcer perforation in Bujumbura. Perforated
peptic ulcer is a serious complication of peptic ulcer with potential risk of
grave complications. Aim: To study the early morbidity and mortality of
surgery for peptic ulcer perforation in Bujumbura City Hall hospitals: Kamenge
University Hospital Center (CHUK), Kamenge
Military Hospital (HMK) and Prince Louis Rwagasore Clinic (CPLR). Patients
and methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study
carried out in the three hospitals of Bujumbura over a period of three years
from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. It involved 57 cases (n = 57) of
peptic ulcer perforation. Results: The frequency of surgery for peptic
ulcer perforation was 2.7% with a mean age of 43.6 years +/- 15.3 years and a male predominance with a sex ratio of 3.7. Eight
percent of patients presented with shock, 24.5% were smokers, and 67.9% had
taken non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The mean hospital stay was 15.2 days
with a standard deviation of 12.1. The morbidity rate was 30.2%, 32% were
classified in grade IIIb of the Clavien-Dindo Surgical Complications Scale.
There were 9 deaths (17%). Seven patients who underwent surgery and received
late consultations died.
