Abstract: Perforation of gut is one of a common surgical emergency encountered in clinical practice. Patients with gastric / duodenal perforations presents with severe peritonitis and septicemia. Upper GI perforations need immediate repair mostly by Omental patch closure. Following surgical repair of the perforation patients will be observed postoperatively regarding the improvement of vitals and return of normal bowel movements and improvements in biochemical parameters for planning of introduction of oral feeds. Previously it is considered that introduction of oral feeds may prolong the duration of naso gastric aspirations and may interfere with the healing of perforation site and also may lead to prolongation of post operative ileus.....
