    Abstract:
    Typhoid perforation, a serious complication of typhoid fever, is still common in Third World countries and has a mortality rate between 1 and 39.3% according to various reports. There are different approaches to the treatment of typhoid perforation. Early surgical intervention with simple closure of the perforation in two layers has good results and negligible mortality. It is easy to perform and can be carried out, even by a trainee surgeon.
