  • Title: [Complications following pyloromyotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis].
    Author: Ekkelkamp S, Vos A.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1983 Apr; 51(2):52-3. PubMed ID: 6879583.
    Abstract:
    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.
