Primary laparoscopic approach to repair perforated peptic ulcer. A retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that a primary laparoscopic approach in patients with PPU is associated with postoperative advantages and acceptable rates of morbidity and mortality, essentially related to high Boey score. Therefore, we suggest that the surgical repair of PPU could be always started laparoscopically. PMID: 32456394 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
