The pylorus is the opening between your babys stomach and intestine
Since then, many authors have reported their experience with LP and have also suggested technical improvements in the procedure
pyloromyotomy, pyloroplasty (Transverse or Y- U advancement techniques) and partial or complete pylorectomy (Tomio et al
In 15 infants with pyloric stenosis, gastrointestinal sounds were collected with a microphone placed 3 cm below the umbilicus for 60 minutes before pyloromyotomy and at 9 to 12 hours, 20 to 24 hours, 40 to 48 hours, and 112 to 120 hours after the operation
The danger of pyloric stenosis comes from the dehydration and electrolyte disturbance rather than the underlying problem itself
The incision starts about 1 cm proximal to pylorus and runs across the “tumor” to a point about 1 cm distal to the pylorus on the first part of the duodenum
21 The primary outcome variable was the operative time, which differed by 6 seconds
Endoscopic pyloromyotomy is a technically feasible and potentially much less morbid endoscopic surgical procedure
POP has less perioperative morbidity compared to LP with comparative functional outcomes
Right upper quadrant incision: a transverse incision is made directly over the right rectus muscle midway between the xiphoid and umbilicus
A pyloromyotomy is done to correct pyloric stenosis, which may occur around the second to sixth week of life
Most infants will spend one or two days in the hospital to ensure that they can resume a normal feeding schedule with little to no vomiting
