A study on all cases with typhoid enteric perforation between April 1996 and October 2000, was carried out at Surgical Unit IV Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Hyderabad to evaluate the methods of treatment of typhoid perforation. Ninety patients of typhoid enteric perforation were studied in two groups: Group A treated with two layers closure and Group B treated by ileostomy. A copious lavage of the peritoneal cavity was carried out with normal saline in both the groups. The complications rate for group A patients was 20% and for groups B 31%. We conclude that the better treatment of typhoid enteric perforation is two layers closure with copious peritoneal lavage.
