Efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in treating gastric duodenal ulcer perforation versus open surgery

  Objective  To compare clinical efficacy of laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in treating gastric duodenal ulcer perforation.

  Method   A total of 67 patients underwent repair of gastric duodenal ulcer perforation were selected, and were divided into laparoscopy group (n=25) and laparotomy group (n=42) according to different operation modes. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time of gastrointestinal function recovery, postoperative pain score, postoperative hospitalization time and occurrence of perioperative complications were compared in the two groups.

  Results  There were statistically significant differences in the operation time, time of gastrointestinal function recovery, postoperative pain score and postoperative hospitalization time in the two groups(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and occurrence of perioperative complications in the two groups(P>0.05).

  Conclusion  Laparoscopic procedure has the advantages of minimal invasion, less postoperative pain and faster recovery in treating gastric duodenal ulcer perforation.
