A minimum of 50 cases after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for this study and allocated alternatively to each of the clinical study. A pretested proforma was used to collect relevant information from all the selected patients. Results: In this prospective study of 50 cases, 35 cases (70%) of perforation, 2 cases (4%) of bleeding and 13 cases (26%) of gastric outlet obstruction were documented.
