What does gastric duodenal ulcer perforation mean?

Gastroduodenal ulcer is peptic ulcer. Peptic ulcer perforation is a common complication.

There is ulcer focus on the digestive tract mucosa of the patient. If targeted treatment is not carried out in time and life management is not done well, the gastric mucosa will continue to be damaged, and the ulcer focus may continue to deepen and worsen, and develop to the deep until it penetrates the serosa layer and perforation occurs. Peptic ulcer perforation can be divided into acute, subacute and chronic according to the course of disease. Acute perforation usually recommends immediate surgical treatment, while subacute and chronic perforation can be temporarily treated conservatively if the symptoms are not serious and there is no obvious obstruction phenomenon.
