Laparoscopic wedge resection and omental patch in an elderly patient with acute abdomen: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerforated gastric ulcers represent life-threatening surgical emergencies with particularly high morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. While omental patch repair remains the standard treatment for duodenal perforations, optimal management of complex gastric perforations, especially those with necrosis or concurrent lesions, remains controversial. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 72-year-old Iranian woman with multiple comorbidities who presented with septic shock secondary to gastric perforation. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a 1.5-cm perforation with surrounding necrosis and an adjacent gastric polyp. The patient successfully underwent combined laparoscopic wedge resection and omental patch repair, demonstrating the feasibility of this minimally invasive approach in high-risk patients. The procedure included complete excision of necrotic tissue and polyp with stapled wedge resection, followed by reinforcement using a vascularized omental patch. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient discharged on day 10. Histopathology confirmed benign ulceration without malignancy. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence.
conclusionThis case highlights that laparoscopic wedge resection with omental patch repair offers both diagnostic and therapeutic advantages for complex gastric perforations, particularly when tissue viability is questionable or concurrent lesions are present. The technique combines the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, reduced morbidity, and faster recovery with the reliability of traditional omental patching. The successful outcome highlights the expanding role of laparoscopy in emergency general surgery for high-risk populations.
