AbstractPeptic ulcers are the most common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Although most peptic ulcer bleeding can be controlled by medical and endoscopic treatment, a small number of patients with recurrent bleeding eventually require surgical treatment. In recent years, laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical method, has gained popularity and acceptance. We, herein, report a case of recurrent duodenal ulcer bleeding. Laparoscopic oversewing of the bleeding ulcer under endoscopic guidance resulted in satisfactory recovery. We suggest that for recurrent bleeding from peptic ulcers, laparoscopic oversewing under endoscopic guidance should be recommended as a possible early option to halt the bleeding. Key Words: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding, Peptic ulcer, Laparoscopy, Treatment.
