Abstract

The treatment of peptic ulcers has changed substantially, and the rate of elective surgery for gastroduodenal peptic ulcers has fallen significantly; as a result, the rate of emergency surgery for perforated peptic ulcers has slightly increased. The Boey score is one of the most widely used prognostic scoring systems for predicting death in peptic ulcer perforation patients. The Boey scoring system has a positive connection with mortality risk. Patients with Boey Score 3 are patients who meet the high-risk criteria and have high morbidity and mortality rates. Conservative therapy can be utilized as an alternative to surgery in some cases with perforated gastroduodenal ulcers. In this study, we presented a clinical case of perforated peptic ulcer patient with Boey score 3 treated with external drainage for the conservative treatment.
