Description
Six important errors to avoid during laparoscopic repair of a perforated peptic ulcer:
1. Delaying resuscitation, antibiotics or source control, or persisting with unsafe laparoscopy.
2. Choosing a repair without assessing the defect’s size, location and tissue quality.
3. Suturing friable edges or overtightening knots.
4. Stretching, twisting or strangulating the omental patch.
5. Leaving enteric contamination or infected fluid behind.
6. Skipping final integrity checks and postoperative ulcer treatment.
This educational video illustrates a selected small anterior duodenal perforation repaired with sutures and omental reinforcement. Designed for surgeons and trainees, it highlights careful assessment, gentle tissue handling and effective source control.
