Closure of an acute perforated peptic ulcer with the falciform ligament

D E Fry et al. Arch Surg. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

When management of a perforated peptic ulcer necessitates simple closure, the omentum may not be of adequate quality to buttress such a closure. In this unusual circunstance, we have found the falciform ligament to serve as an effective alternative to satisfactorily peptic perforations.
