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.

Adequacy of Preoperative Resuscitation in Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy and Anesthetic Emergence

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2019
BACKGROUND: Pyloromyotomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on otherwise healthy infants. Pyloric stenosis results in a hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis that is considered a medical emergency.

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.

The Application of Pyloric chisel in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis by Single-Site Umbilical Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A, 2019
OBJECTIVE The feasibility and perspective of pyloric chisel were discussed through the comparison of pyloric chisel and knife in the treatment of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in single-site umbilical laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (SSULP).

Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy: is a knife really necessary?

World Journal of Pediatrics, 2011
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) is currently accepted as a suitable treatment modality for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). In this report, we describe some technical modifications of LP using a 3- or 5-mm hook with electrocautery as a substitute for a knife for incising the pylorus.

Effects of Low-Pressure CO2 Insufflation on Cerebral and Splanchnic Oxygenation in Neonates Undergoing Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy.

European journal of pediatric surgery
Pathophysiological effects of abdominal CO2 insufflation on cerebral and splanchnic oxygenation in neonates and infants undergoing laparoscopy remain poorly investigated.

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Rapid Sequence Induction for Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy: Impact on Time to Extubation and Perioperative Complications

European journal of pediatric surgery, 2019
Introduction Infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis have gastric outlet obstruction, indicating a pyloromyotomy. To prevent aspiration, a rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anesthesia used to be preferred.

Single-site umbilical laparoscopic pyloromyotomy

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2011
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy was first reported 20 years ago. This technique uses a small umbilical incision and 2 small upper abdominal incisions. During the last 5 years, this approach has become the preferred technique for many pediatric surgeons in the infant who needs a pyloromyotomy.

Pyloromyotomy (Open and Laparoscopic Approach)

2019
This chapter describes surgical pyloromyotomy as performed by both open and laparoscopic techniques for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The text includes an introduction that outlines the indications, risks, alternatives, essential steps needed, equipment, and variations in technique for the procedure in question.

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.
