Abstract:
Perforation of a hollow viscus is an emergency which should prompt a rapid and effective treatment. Open surgery has been considered the standard approach, but the use of laparoscopy for diagnostic purposes and treatment in favorable circumstances and locations appears to be a safe alternative with a number of advantages. Indications and contraindications, which depend on the nature of the disease, the duration of the perforation and the location, are discussed in detail.
