ulcusperforatie
Ulcusperforatie refers to the perforation of an ulcer, most commonly a peptic ulcer, through the wall of an organ such as the stomach or duodenum. This condition represents a serious complication of peptic ulcer disease. When an ulcer erodes through the full thickness of the organ wall, it creates an opening that allows the contents of the organ, including digestive juices and food, to leak into the peritoneal cavity.

Diagnosis usually involves imaging studies like an abdominal X-ray, which can reveal free air under the diaphragm
Ulcusperforatie is a surgical emergency. Treatment typically involves surgical intervention to close the perforation and wash
