A patient with a history of intermittent and intense pain in the upper abdomen secondary to an ulcer of a duodenal diverticulum underwent laparoscopic treatment. The diverticulum measured 2.5 cm in diameter and it was located on the lateral wall of the second portion of the duodenum. The diverticulum was inverted and the duodenal muscular defect was closed with interrupted sutures. Ambulation and a clear liquid diet was started on the same day as the operation, and the patient was discharged on the first postoperative day.
