[Complications following pyloromyotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis]. 1983

S Ekkelkamp, and A Vos

In this series of 114 patients with infantile hypertrofic pyloric stenosis all were treated operatively, in eight cases perforations of the mucosa occurred, seven patients were referred to us after inadequate pyloromyotomy had been performed elsewhere. They did well after an adequate pyloromyotomy at reoperation. The conclusion is that pyloromyotomy is a most rewarding treatment for IHPS, that complications are rare and if occurring, can be dealt with without any lasting harm to the patient.

D011707	Pyloric Stenosis	Narrowing of the pyloric canal with varied etiology. A common form is due to muscle hypertrophy (PYLORIC STENOSIS, HYPERTROPHIC) seen in infants.

D011708	Pylorus	The region of the STOMACH at the junction with the DUODENUM. It is marked by the thickening of circular muscle layers forming the pyloric sphincter to control the opening and closure of the lumen.	Pyloric Sphincter,Pyloric Sphincters,Sphincter, Pyloric,Sphincters, Pyloric

D005753	Gastric Mucosa	Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
