Abstract

Ten patients underwent laparoscopic surgery for typical perforated peptic ulcer symptomatology. Two conversions to open surgery were due to technical problems related to delayed hospital admission. Nine patients underwent duodenal suture reinforced with fibrin glue, and one perforation was only glued. The postoperative course was uneventful without abdominal septic or abdominal wall complications in the eight patients treated by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic surgery may become the method of choice for the treatment of perforated peptic ulcer.
