PC-OB09 : Two cases of duodenal ulcer perforation in the postpartum period several days after cesarean section

Small bowel perforation in the postpartum period is very rare and is often misdiagnosed as functional paralytic ileus after surgery or pain at the wound, rapid and accurate diagnosis can be very difficult and delayed for various reasons, which can threaten the life of the mother. In the past 10 years, we have had experienced two cases of duodenal ulcer perforation after cesarean section. In all two cases, there was no past history of the ulcer, the first case was too severe and laparotomy after laparoscopic attempt was performed, and the second case was treated laparoscopic surgery by 3-0 V-LocTM absorbable wound closure device. In case of unexpected abdominal pain, especially in the case of accompanying fever during well recovery 4-7 days after cesarean section, if the surgical site is normal, the gastrointestinal disorder should be considered.
