Abstract EN
Laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcers is safe and effective in centers with experience and increasingly performed by laparoscopic surgeons.
However, the role of laparoscopy for the management of large duodenal perforations (>1 cm) is unclear.
To date, no experience has been reported with emergency laparoscopic repair of large perforations for gastroduodenal ulcers.
The commonest reason for conversion to open surgery is a perforation size of more than 1 cm.
This paper reports a case of a large duodenal perforation due to a nasogastric tube in a 26-year-old male who had undergone a tracheostomy, following a cut-throat injury.
This large perforation was successfully diagnosed and repaired laparoscopically.
This is probably the first paper in the English literature to report duodenal perforation due to a nasogastric tube in an adult and also the first report of a successful laparoscopic repair of a large duodenal perforation.
