Core Tip	Gastric ulcer perforations are not always benign. The possibility of malignancy should not be overlooked during emergency repair. Early endoscopy following simple closure can help avoid unnecessary radical surgery while allowing timely cancer diagnosis. Additional studies are needed to determine the earliest time that endoscopy can be performed safely following peptic ulcer perforation repair.
