title: [Laparoscopic closure and tegmentation of perforated ulcer].
abstract: Laparoscopy is fully recognized for diagnosis and even treatment of various acute abdominal conditions. In a 42-year-old woman with intense lower abdominal pain, laparoscopy revealed a perforated peptic ulcer. The ulcer was closed and patched with omentum and the abdomen was irrigated, all by laparoscopic techniques. Except for a minor wound infection recovery was uneventful.
