The Learning Curve Associated with Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2005
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LPM) for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) has gained popularity in recent years. This study examines the learning curve associated with LPM.We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing LPM at a children's hospital between January 1, 1997 and June 30, 2003.

Physiological Effects of Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2006
A retrospective analysis comparing intraoperative physiological variables during laparoscopic and open pyloromyotomies was undertaken during an 18-month period at our institution. Fifty cases were examined (22 laparocopic and 28 open). Operative time, temperature change, end-tidal CO2, heart rate, and blood pressure were examined and compared.

Laparoscopic Extramucosal Pyloromyotomy

1999
Laparoscopic extramucosal pyloromytomy is an excellent alternative to the classical management of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. In May 1990 we performed the first laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (Alain, Grousseau 1991a,b). A careful follow-up of our patients demonstrates the advantages of this approach.

A New Technique for Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy

Pediatric Endosurgery & Innovative Techniques, 1998
ABSTRACT We recently performed laparoscopic pyloromyotomy on five patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. In the first case, the pylorus was incised using a Babcock intestinal clamp according to the procedure of laparoscopic pyloric traumamyoplasty reported by Castanon et al.

A comparison of laparoscopic and open pyloromyotomy at a teaching hospital

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2002
An increasing number of pediatric surgeons are using the laparoscopic approach to treat pyloric stenosis. The advantage of laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is uncertain and has not been evaluated in the setting of a pediatric surgery fellowship program.The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent pyloromyotomy for ...

Open vs. laparoscopic pyloromyotomy – a retrospective analysis

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2008
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy has obtained increasing importance in the last years. However, there is no proof of an obvious advantage of the laparoscopic over the open approach. This retrospective analysis of 157 infants with pyloromyotomies (129 open and 28 laparoscopic procedures) should settle the benefit of one of these procedures.

Single-incision laparoscopic pyloromyotomy: initial experience

Surgical Endoscopy, 2009
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy has become the standard treatment for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an emerging operative approach that utilizes the umbilical scar to hide the surgical incision.To describe our initial experience with single-incision laparoscopic pyloromyotomy in 15 infants.Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy ...

The Utility of Prophylactic Antibiotics for Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy

Journal of Surgical Research
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a clean case with low expected rates of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI). Previous studies have shown a low risk of SSI following LP but also large variations in the utilization of prophylactic antibiotics.
