Abstract (2. Language):
Laparoscopy is an important milestone in the history of surgery. Almost all abdominal surgeries can now be approached
laparoscopically. Laparoscopic perforated duodenal ulcer(DU) repair has been shown to be feasible . However, whether its superior to
open repair is yet to be established and has not become the standard of care . Laparoscopy offers better visualisation and early recovery.
The avoidance of the upper abdominal incision with its associated pulmonary effects is another advantage . In the presence of adequate
surgeon experience and hemodynamically stable patient , it is safe to repair DU perforation laparoscopically. Our four port approach is
easier to adapt to for surgeons newly beginning to do laparoscopic DU perforation repair.
