The immediate results of laparoscopic treatment in perforated gastroduodenal ulcers

The article presents an analysis of immediate results of laparoscopic interventions (suturing, vagotomy) in 40 patients with perforated ulcers in the pylorobulbar zone. Postoperative complications were noted in 7.5% of the patients. There were no lethal outcomes. The authors recommend wider introduction of the laparoscopic technology as a method of optimization of surgical treatment for perforated ulcers.
