| Sumario: | Peptic ulcer is a relatively uncommon disease in children, compared to adults, with an incidence of 2–8%. Although well-established in adults' sector, the management of perforate peptic ulcer is still challenging in pediatric population. we reported two cases, two- and five-years old males, who presented with peritonitis following perforation of duodenal ulcer and managed with Graham's patch laparoscopically. The postoperative period of the two cases was uneventful and the cases were discharged on the 8th postoperative day. We found that laparoscopic omental repair was safe and effective among children with perforated peptic ulcer. |
