Peptic ulcer perforations are common in surgical emergencies, whereas double perforations are rare, and triple peptic perforations are even exceedingly rare, with only a few cases documented. While undetected perforation during surgery can be fatal, the absence of standardized procedures for managing multiple perforations remains an ongoing challenge for surgeons. Herein, we describe a rare case of simultaneous triple peptic perforations in an elderly man with a prolonged history of analgesic and corticosteroid use. This case underscores the importance of screening multiple peptic perforations intraoperatively. Subtotal gastrectomy is suggested as an effective option when simple closure of perforations is infeasible.

Purpose: This network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to evaluate surgical and alternative treatment strategies for perforated peptic ulcers (PPU) with respect to mortality and other clinically relevant outcomes.
Methods: An NMA was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to assess treatment approaches for PPU. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) were identified through systematic searches of PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is widely used for secondary prevention following acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a known complication of DAPT, typically due to peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. However, oesophageal haematoma is a rare and under-recognised cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in this setting.

Gastric and duodenal ulcer perforation represents one of the most critical causes of acute abdomen, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. While primary repair with omental patch remains the standard treatment for uncomplicated cases, alternative surgical approaches may be preferable in complex or delayed presentations. We illustrate this variability through two distinct cases.
