Gastric perforation - isenko

Japanese: 胃穿孔 - いせんこう

A condition in which a hole appears in the stomach wall and passes completely through to the abdominal cavity. When a hole appears but is covered by an adjacent organ such as the pancreas, it is called a covered perforation. Perforation most often occurs as a complication of gastric or duodenal ulcers. It can also occur as a result of stomach cancer, accidentally ingesting a foreign body, or trauma. In many cases, surgery is required. → Gastric ulcer/Duodenal ulcer

胃壁に穴があき，完全に腹腔につき抜ける状態。穴があいても膵臓(すいぞう)などの隣接臓器によって覆われる場合は被覆性穿孔といって区別する。穿孔は胃・十二指腸潰瘍(かいよう)の合併症として起こることが最も多い。その他，胃癌や，誤飲した異物または外傷によって起こることもある。多くの場合には外科的手術が必要。→胃潰瘍／十二指腸潰瘍
