Minimally Invasive Surgical Repair for Perforated Ulcers

Laparoscopic Perforated Ulcer Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat a perforated peptic ulcer – a serious complication where an ulcer erodes through the stomach or duodenal wall, creating a hole that allows digestive fluids to leak into the abdominal cavity. This can lead to severe infection (peritonitis) and requires immediate surgical intervention.

Using advanced laparoscopic techniques, the surgeon repairs the perforation with sutures or a patch, washes out the abdominal cavity, and restores the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. This approach offers faster recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

When is Laparoscopic Perforated Ulcer Repair Recommended?

• Acute perforation of a gastric or duodenal ulcer
• Severe abdominal pain with signs of peritonitis
• Failed conservative management with intravenous medications
• Presence of free air or fluid in the abdomen on imaging
• Rapid deterioration of the patient's condition

Advantages of Laparoscopic Approach

• Smaller incisions – less postoperative pain and better cosmetic outcome
• Shorter hospital stay and faster return to normal activities
• Reduced risk of wound infections and hernia formation
• Lower postoperative complications
• Better visualization of the abdominal cavity for thorough irrigation

Symptoms of a Perforated Ulcer

• Sudden, sharp, severe abdominal pain
• Abdominal rigidity and tenderness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fever and chills
• Signs of shock (rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure)
