==Overview==
Gastrointestinal perforation may be classified based upon the [[etiology]] into instrumental perforation, perforation due to [[systemic diseases]], perforation due to [[inflammatory]] causes, [[medications]] and [[neoplasms]]. Gastrointestinal perforation may also be divided based on age of the patient into adult type and neonatal type perforation.


==Gastrointestinal perforation classification==
==Gastrointestinal perforation classification==
There is no specific classification for gastrointestinal perforation but it can be classified by cause and by age of the patients.


==== Gastrointestinal perforation can be classified by causes into: ====
=== Classification based on etiology: ===

* Instrumentation of the gastrointestinal tract includes upper endoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, stent placement, endoscopic sclerotherapy, nasogastric intubation, esophageal dilation, and surgery.

Overview

Gastrointestinal perforation may be classified based upon the etiology into instrumental perforation, perforation due to systemic diseases, perforation due to inflammatory causes, medications and neoplasms. Gastrointestinal perforation may also be divided based on age of the patient into adult type and neonatal type perforation.

Gastrointestinal perforation classification

There is no specific classification for gastrointestinal perforation but it can be classified by cause and by age of the patients.

Classification based on etiology:

Instrumental:
Systemic:
Inflammatory
Medication
Neoplasm
  • Neoplasms can perforate by direct penetration and necrosis, or by producing obstruction.

Classification based on age:
