Abstract

A combined laparoscopic - endoscopic operation of perforated gastric ulcer with gastric mucosa biopsy and use of great omentum as a vital material in ulcer perforation is described. The combination of endoscopy and laparoscopic surgical procedure allows a good insight into the pylorus and duodenum patency. Intraoperative biopsy of the antrum and gastric corpus mucosa provides a definite histologic finding concerning the possible presence of Helicobacter pylori. Besides fast patient recovery, the laparoscopic approach to perforated ulcer also allows for adequate irrigation, and drainage if necessary, of the abdomen.
