Abstract:
170 patients with perforated peptic ulcer (90% perforated duodenal ulcer and 10% perforated gastric ulcer) were included in the study from 8/1998 to 8/1999 at the Cho Ray hospital, Ho Chi Minh city. 165 patients (97.05%) were treated by simple surgical closure (including by one laparoscopic repair) with a postoperative mortality of 4.84%. 4 of them were treated by subtotal gastrectomy and one by vagotomy+ pyloroplasty without mortality. In summary, simple surgical closure is a satisfactory operation for most patients.
