Laparoscopic repair of iatrogenic endoscopic perforated peptic ulcer.
Iatrogenic perforation is an uncommon but inevitable complication of endoscopy. Laparotomy has been the standard treatment for pyloroduodenal perforations caused by endoscopy. Laparoscopic repair is a well-documented treatment modality for spontaneously perforated peptic ulcer. We report our successful laparoscopic suture repair of perforations sustained during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in two high-risk elderly patients.
