Recovery of gastrointestinal motility following laparoscopy versus open operation for repair of gastric perforation

Objective To study the effects of recovery of gastrointestinal motility following laparoscopy versus open operation for the repair of gastric perforation. Methods Eighty-four patients with gastric perforation were divided into observation group and control group,respectively given laparoscopic repair and open operation repair. Postoperative gastrointestinal dynamics index were compared. Results Laparoscopic group after 1 h,24 h,48 h,72 h GAS score were higher than those of open operation group,intraoperative blood loss,bowel sounds recovery time,exhaust time,length of hospital stay and complications were lower than those of open operation group. Conclusion Laparoscopic repair can help to reduce intraoperative blood loss,quickly recover gastrointestinal motility and shorten hospitalization time.
