Abstract

Introduction: perforated peptic ulcer is an entity of great medical importance due to the risks it poses to the patient's life.

Objective: to describe the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of perforated peptic ulcer.

Methods: a search for information was carried out in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO and Scopus databases. Articles in Spanish and English were selected, leaving 37 bibliographic references for the present review.

Development: Peptic ulcer is a breach or rupture that appears in the stomach walls, in the duodenum, and occasionally in the lower esophagus; it can also occur in the upper part of the jejunum. Among the etiological factors of this disease are Helicobacter pylori infection, consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gastric hypersecretion, diseases of the gastroduodenal mucosa itself, stress, a highly seasoned diet, toxic habits, as well as genetic factors and family history. The diagnosis of perforated peptic ulcer is made clinically. Treatment is based on medical (histamine receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors) and surgical treatment.

Conclusion: peptic ulcer is a multifactorial disease, influenced by lifestyle, dietary habits, drug consumption and stress, among other factors. Treatment can be medical, in simple cases, or surgical, in the presence of peptic ulcer.
