[Laparoscopic surgery of perforated duodenal and gastric ulcers].

During the period of 13 months, the authors have operated on seven patients with perforated gastroduodenal ulcers. All surgeries were completely performed by the laparoscopic method. The laparoscopic suture of perforated ulcers was performed with lavage and only in one case it involved omentoplasty. The healing process was free of any complications in all patients. The advantage of laparoscopic operations of perforated ulcers resides in fast convalescence and in the fast restoration of working abilities. This method is appropriate in cases when the surgeon performing laparoscopic surgeries has sufficient experience in coincidence with the treatment of perforated ulcers.
