Comparing two ways to repair a perforated peptic ulcer
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to close a hole in the stomach or intestine during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery: one uses a piece of tissue from the liver area, the other uses a piece of belly fat. The goal is to see which technique works better for healing and fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and have a hole (perforation) in your stomach or the first part of your intestine (duodenum) that the doctor finds during surgery.
- The hole needs to be 2 cm or smaller, so it can be closed with a patch rather than removing part of your stomach.
- You must be healthy enough for general anesthesia and for the surgeon to use gas to inflate your belly during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery.
- You should have started having symptoms within the last 24 hours, or if later, the doctor must decide it’s still safe to do keyhole surgery.
- You must not have severe infection with shock, cancer in the ulcer, or be pregnant.
- You must be able to give written permission for the surgery and follow-up visits.

This trial tests a surgical technique called falciformopexy to close and reinforce a perforated peptic ulcer, which can help treat the hole in the stomach lining and prevent complications.
This study compares two different stitch techniques to close the belly wall after emergency surgery for a hole in the stomach or intestines. It aims to see which method leads to better healing and fewer wound problems.
This trial compares three ways to repair a large hiatal hernia—using an absorbable mesh (a dissolvable patch), special sutures with small pledgets (reinforcement pads), or sutures alone. The goal is to find out which method works best for preventing the hernia from coming back.
This study compares two methods of closing the cut made during belly surgery to see which one is less likely to cause a hernia later. It is for people having planned colorectal surgery through a midline incision.
This study compares two ways of closing a gap that forms after stomach removal surgery. The goal is to see if closing it reduces complications compared to leaving it open, which may help you recover better.
This trial compares two ways of treating the abdomen after emergency surgery when there is severe contamination from a bowel perforation causing widespread peritonitis. It may help find the safest approach to control infection and promote healing.
