Extramucosal pyloromyotomy by laparoscopy

Surgical Endoscopy, 1991
We performed extramucosal pyloromyotomies by laparoscopy in 20 infants presenting with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The surgical technique and precautionary measures, the outcome, and the advantages of this original approach are discussed. In the near future, laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is likely to become a widely used technique.

An effective pyloromyotomy length in infants undergoing laparoscopic pyloromyotomy

Surgery, 2004
Traditional management of pyloric stenosis has consisted of open pyloromyotomy during which the surgeon is able to palpate and determine whether the hypertrophied pylorus has been completely divided. During the last decade, laparoscopic pyloromyotomy has become an increasingly popular approach for this condition.

Gas induction for pyloromyotomy

Pediatric Anesthesia, 2015
SummaryBackgroundInfants with pyloric stenosis are considered to be at high risk of aspiration on induction of anesthesia. Traditionally, texts have recommended classic rapid sequence induction (RSI) or awake intubation (AI). AI has generally fallen out of favor, while the components of RSI have become increasingly controversial.

Umbilical Incision for Pyloromyotomy

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1997
The umbilical incision is a new approach for the curative procedure of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in order to avoid the cosmetic impairment from the right upper quadrant incision. Our purpose was to evaluate the morbidity of the two approaches. One hundred and eighteen children operated on through an umbilical incision (UMB) from 1992 to 1994 were ...

Extramucosal Pyloromyotomy by Laparoscopy

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Since 1990, we have performed extramucosal pyloromyotomies by laparoscopy in 70 infants presenting with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Ever since the first cases, the technique and the instruments have been adapted. The surgical technique and the precautionary measures are here explained again. This technique is beneficial for infants with a

Myringotomy Knife for Pyloromyotomy

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2010
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is a common procedure for treating infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Since 2006, we have been using miniature otolaryngologic instruments for pyloromyotomy due to a shortage of arthroscopic blades in our Medical Center.

An instrument for pyloromyotomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1969
Abstract A pyloric spreader of new design is described. This instrument facilitates splitting of the hypertrophied muscle and diminishes the chance of inadvertent perforation of the duodenal mucosa.

Radiographic findings after incomplete pyloromyotomy

Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1986
The gastrointestinal series of 10 patients with persistent vomiting following pyloromyotomies for pyloric stenosis were reviewed. Four patients had incomplete pyloromyotomies and required reoperation. Their studies showed persistent obstruction with elongation and narrowing of the pyloric channel similar to preoperative studies, except that the ...

Comparing pyloromyotomy outcomes across Canada

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2017
Changing patterns of referral and management of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in North America have recently been described. Comfort with perioperative management, anesthesia, and corrective surgery have been cited as reasons for these changes.

Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy: a safer technique

Pediatric Surgery International, 1998
A modified technique of laparoscopic pyloromyotomy was used to treat infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Introducing a 5-mm periumbilical port for visualization, two stab wounds are made on either side laterally to directly insert 2.7-mm instruments for manipulation. From the left, the stomach is grasped - not the duodenum!
