Laparoscopic and open repair for perforated duodenal ulcer: single-center experience.

Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach is an effective method for treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer in selected cases. A number of 20-25 cases for the surgeon operating with the laparoscopic method is sufficient to achieve an acceptable level of expertise. More prospective randomized studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcer. PMID: 30766630 [PubMed]
