Open vs. Laparoscopic Repair for Perforated Stomach Ulcer
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of surgery for repairing a hole in the stomach or upper intestine (perforated peptic ulcer): traditional open surgery (one larger cut) and laparoscopic surgery (several small cuts with a camera). The goal is to see which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with a perforated peptic ulcer (a hole in your stomach or duodenum).
- You are well enough to have surgery (your doctor would give you an ASA grade of I, II, or III).
- You do not have an actively bleeding ulcer that needs extra steps to control.
- You do not have any other stomach condition besides the perforated ulcer.
