Laparoscopic repair of full-thickness stomach injury.
A case of laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation caused by a trocar is reported. Suturing was carried out by the apposition of clips. The potential advantages of this approach are that the treatment is performed at the time of the complication, the duration of the operation is reduced, and the discharge of the patient from hospital is accelerated.
