Laparoscopic management of perforated peptic ulcer with single suture or single suture and modified taylor procedure

Abstract

Background-Aim Peptic ulcer perforation represents a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Requiring emergency attention and surgical management, it traditionally involved open repair — laparotomy. In 1989, Mouret et al. applied the first laparoscopic sutureless fibrin glue omental patch for perforated duodenal ulcer repair. The aim of this study is to show that laparoscopic management of a perforated ulcer produces very good results and is a less invasive technique compared with open repair.
