Abstract

Background: Perforated peptic ulcer is a common surgical emergency, and omental patch (Grahampatch) repair remains the standard operative approach for most perforations. Despite its widespread use, suture line leak and postoperative mortality continue to occur, and reliable clinical predictorsare needed to guide risk stratification
