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. Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).

Key Words: Laparoscopy • perforated viscus.
