Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Treatment in Gastroduodenal Perforations: Our Experience

Abstract: Introduction:Peptic ulcer perforation (PPU) is a common surgical emergency and the mortality rate ranges 10% to 40%, especially in elderly patients. Laparoscopic repair achieved encouraging results.Materials and Methods:We enrolled patients performing surgical repair for PPU from January 2007 to December 2015 in our surgical unit. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare the results of PPU laparoscopic repair with open technique. The following characteristics of patients were evaluated:… Show more

“…Some studies confirm that the use of laparoscopic repair for the treatment of perforated peptic ulcers remains controversial due to the concerns related to a longer operation time, leak and the high rate of reoperation [21], which was not observed in our study. Other studies on laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer have shown that this method is more favorable than the open repair method as it involves less analgesic therapy, has a shorter hospital stay, a lower rate of wound infection, a lower mortality rate and earlier return to work [22, 38, 39]. The limiting factor in laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer is the lack of availability of expertise and competency of the surgeon [28, 40].…”
