Introduction: Despite the widespread use of antisecretory agents and eradication therapy, the incidence of perforated peptic ulcer has changed little. Since the initial reports of successful laparoscopic management of perforated duodenal ulcers and perforation peritonitis several larger comparative series have been published confirming the technical feasibility and advantages of laparoscopic approach. Objectives:The aim is to compare the outcome and efficacy of laparoscopic repair with conventional laparotomy in the management of peptic perforation. Methods: The study was conducted on patients with diagnosis of peptic perforation in V.S. Hospital, Ahmedabad. It is a retrospective study from August 2014 to November 2016. Result: 50 patients of perforation peritonitis were operated randomly by laparoscopic repair and laparotomy. It was found that the laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer was associated with less intra operative blood loss, no intraoperative and postoperative complications, minimum postoperative pain which was significant as compared to laparotomy repair. Conclusion: Laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer could be considered as a good alternative for open repair in routine clinical practice in the management of peptic perforation peritonitis as less intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain and better cosmesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
