Everything about Gastrointestinal perforation
Hole in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract
Gastrointestinal perforation, also called gastrointestinal rupture, is a hole in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract is composed of hollow digestive organs leading from the mouth to the anus. Symptoms of gastrointestinal perforation commonly include severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Complications include a painful inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall and sepsis. Wikipedia →
