Article Abstract
Background: The mainstay of surgical management of perforated peptic ulcer is omental patch repair. Advances in minimally invasive techniques have shown feasibility of laparoscopic omental patch repair (LOPR). Laparoscopic omental patch repair is limited by learning curve (LC), but there is a lack of reporting of LC in LOPR. This study aims to compare outcomes following LOPR versus open omental patch repair (OOPR) with reporting of LC.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Scopus were systematically searched from inception till January 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs comparing LOPR and OOPR in perforated peptic ulcer. Exclusion criteria were primary repair without use of omental patch repair. Primary outcomes were 30-day mortality, postoperative leak, and LC analysis.
Results: There were a total of 29 studies including 5,311 patients (LOPR, n = 1,687; OOPR, n = 3,624), with 4 RCTs with 238 patients (LOPR, n = 118; OOPR, n = 120). Majority of ulcers were located in the duodenum (57.0%) followed by stomach (30.7%). Mean ulcer size ranged from 5 to 16.2 mm in LOPR and 4.7 to 15.8 mm in OOPR. Laparoscopic omental patch repair was associated with lower 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.92; p = 0.02), overall morbidity (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.18-0.53; p < 0.0001), surgical site infection (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.18-0.42; p < 0.00001), and length of stay (mean difference, -2.84 days; 95% CI, -3.63 to -2.06; p < 0.00001). Postoperative leakage (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.43-2.61; p = 0.90) was comparable between LOPR and OOPR. Only three studies analyzed the proportion of consultants to trainees; LOPR was performed mainly by consultants (range, 82.4-91.4%), while OOPR was mainly performed by trainees (range, 52.8-96.8%). One study showed that consultants who performed open conversion had shorter operating time compared with chief residents (85 vs. 186.6 minutes, p < 0.003).
Conclusion: Laparoscopic omental patch repair has lower mortality, overall morbidity, length of stay, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative pain compared with OOPR. More prospective studies should be conducted to evaluate LC in LOPR.
Level Of Evidence: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis; Level IV.

Gastric and duodenal ulcer perforation represents one of the most critical causes of acute abdomen, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. While primary repair with omental patch remains the standard treatment for uncomplicated cases, alternative surgical approaches may be preferable in complex or delayed presentations. We illustrate this variability through two distinct cases.

Mycotic pseudoaneurysms are rare infectious complications that may involve the aorta, peripheral arteries, cerebral arteries, or visceral arteries. We present a unique case of thoracoabdominal mycotic pseudoaneurysm secondary to hematogenous spread of from spinal osteomyelitis. The infections started with bacterial translocation to the calcified ostial plaque around the celiac origin, which then degenerated into a rapidly growing pseudoaneurysm.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the retrospective results of peptic ulcer perforation (PUP) treatment and assess the effectiveness and safety of early postoperative endoscopy.
Methods: Patients who underwent PUP surgery at Mersin University Hospital between 2010 and 2024 were analyzed. Demographic data, treatment methods, clinical outcomes, and early postoperative (6-8 wk) endoscopy results were evaluated for healing, complications, and recurrence.

We report the first pediatric use of a laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic overstitch technique for managing an acutely perforated gastric ulcer in a 16-year-old female. The patient presented with symptoms consistent with gastrointestinal perforation, confirmed by radiologic pneumoperitoneum. Diagnostic laparoscopy identified inflammatory adhesions and a gastric ulcer perforation.
