Laproscopic closure of duodenal ulcer perforation in peripheralset up in Western Maharashtra

Laparoscopic surgery has become popular during the last decade, mainly because it is associated with fewer postoperative complications than the conventional openapproach. The goal of the present study is to evaluate whether laparoscopic closure of perforated pepticulcer is as safe as conventional open correction in peripheral setup. The study is based on retrospective analysis of cases of duodenal ulcer perforation operated laparoscopically in peripheral set up. Cases of early duodenal perforaton with ASA (American standards for Anaesthesia) grade I and II are included in this study (n = 50). All cases were operated with simple closure of perforated ulcer. Mean Hospital stay was 6 days. All patients ambulated early and pain killer requirement was less.
