Background-Peritonitis due to peptic ulcer perforation is one of the common causes of gastrointestinal tract perforation. Recently a trend has been observed towards a shift from older to younger population. In this study recent incidence of peptic perforation was carried out with below mentioned statistics. Method-It is a prospective study design of patients admitted in emergency and diagnosed as having peptic perforation either gastric or duodenal intra-operatively in age group of 15-35 year from August 2014-August 2015. Results- Out of the total 135 patients 50 were in the age group of 15-35 years. 80% of the young patients were males with male: female ratio being 4:1. 30% of the patients had previous history of peptic ulcer disease. Anterior duodenal perforation was the most common finding noted in about 90% of patients. Common etiological factors were H.pylori, NSAID use along with stress and alcoholism. Mortality rate due to peptic ulcer perforation was about 2% which was quite less as compared to older population due to good physiological reserves. Conclusion-Peptic ulcer perforation is more commin in younger age group with male preponderance.
