GI Perforation Surgery is required when there is a hole or tear in the gastrointestinal tract, often caused by ulcers, infections, or trauma. The surgery aims to close the perforation, clean the abdominal cavity, and prevent peritonitis, a life-threatening infection.

The procedure involves locating the perforation, cleaning the surrounding tissues to remove any harmful bacteria, and repairing the tear. In some cases, part of the affected section of the GI tract may need to be removed if the damage is extensive.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for infection, managing pain, and gradually reintroducing food and fluids to the digestive system. Nutritional support is often required in the recovery phase.

GI perforation surgery is vital for preventing life-threatening complications and providing relief from symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting caused by the perforation.
