Perforated gastroduodenal ulceration saturation via abdominal endoscopy

ABSTRACT

Remarks on laparoscopic suture of perforated peptic ulcer. Objectives: to evaluate the early result of laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer. Method: prospective study. The outcome of 26 patients having the lararoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer was compared with the outcome of 26 patients treated with suture via laparotomy during the same period – from Sept 1995 to Dec 1998. Results: the average operative time of laparoscopic suture was longer than for open suture (69.6 min Vs. 48.7 min; T test, p<0.05). There was no difference of the time between the laparoscopic and the open groups to resume normal diet (3.8 days). The everage hospitalization days for laparoscopic repair was shorter than for open repair (6 days; T test, p < 0.05). Conclusions: laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer is feasible, safe and effictive, has the additional and well – known advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
