    Author: Poli-Merol ML, Francois S, Lefebvre F, Bouche Pillon-Persyn MA, Lefort G, Daoud S.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1996 Feb; 6(1):13-4. PubMed ID: 8721170.
    Abstract:
    We report the results of a study concerning 80 infants undergoing a pyloromyotomy over a 3-and-a-half-year period. 40 infants had a right upper quadrant transverse rectus incision and 40 infants had an umbilical fold incision. Morbidity and cosmetic aspect of the two techniques were compared. We insist on the umbilical fold incision which presents the same advantages as the classic one and a better cosmetic result.
