Our experience of laparoscopic pyloromyotomy with ultrasound-guided parameters

Traditional management of infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis is open pyloromyotomy after initial adequate resuscitation of the patient. From 1991, laparoscopic approach is considered feasible and safe. Today, diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is made most often made by ultrasound. With use of ultrasound-guided parameters (length of pyloric tumour and thickness of pyloric tumour), we could avoid ‘incomplete pyloromyotomy’ and ‘mucosal perforation’ (most common complications in laparoscopic approach) to achieve 100% adequacy and safety in laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.
