The first, are the 'small' perforations that are easy to manage and have low morbidity and mortality. The second are the 'large' perforations, that are also not uncommon, and omental patch closure gives the best results even in this subset of patients. The word 'giant' should be reserved for perforations that exceed 3 cms in diameter, and these are extremely uncommon.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2482-5-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,25]],"date-time":"2005-06-25T06:13:30Z","timestamp":1119680010000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["The management of large perforations of duodenal ulcers"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Sanjay","family":"Gupta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Kaushik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajeev","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashok","family":"Attri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"55_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1076","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.3571.1076","volume":"36","author":"CJ Cellan-Jones","year":"1929","unstructured":"Cellan-Jones CJ: A rapid method of treatment in perforated duodenal ulcer.
