This study aims to know the spectrum of perforation peritonitis and outcome of the patient presenting with perforation peritonitis according to the time of presentation. METHODS: It is a descriptive, retro–prosspective study of 40 cases of perforation peritonitis seen during one year (June 2018– June 2019) RESULTS: Most of the patients in this study were in the age group of 50–60 years (52.5%). There were 27 males (67.5%) as compared to 13 females(32.5%). The most common site of perforation is duodenal perforation (70%) followed by gastric perforation (15%), appendicular perforation (10%), ileal perforation (5%). The Mortality rate was 7.5% and significantly high in patients coming to the hospital after 48 hours and the elderly. CONCLUSION: Duodenal perforation constitutes more than half of the cases of perforation peritonitis. Perforations are more common in males; high rates of mortality are observed in patients presenting late to the hospital
