Core Tip	Typhoid perforation in low-middle-income countries has still a disappointing outcome, related to surgical and not surgical constraints: (1) safe water and sanitation are lacking in high risk settings like slums or overcrowded areas; (2) currently available diagnostic facilities have inherent limitations; (3) multiple drugs resistant bacteria are an increasingly threatening problem; (4) vaccination programs in some high risk regions, like sub-Saharan Africa, have not yet been carried out; (5) surgery is often delayed; (6) in peripheral facilities postoperative intensive care is problematic and often unsuitable; and (7) surgical standards and guidelines are not available due to the lack of sound prospective studies.
