Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a common surgical emergency. Exploratory laparotomy and repair with the omental patch are routine surgical intervention till now. In developing counties, laparoscopic repair is still not considered the gold standard in this emergency condition. This study was conducted to evaluate laparoscopic management of PPU in terms of peri-operative outcomes.
Files of all patients admitted to our hospital with perforated peptic ulcer in the last 4 years and underwent operative management. Demographic, clinical and perioperative outcomes will be collected tabulated and analyzed.
