Overview
Infantile pyloric stenosis is typically managed with surgery. Ranstedt's extramuscular pyloromyotomy is the gold standard of treatment.
Indications
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for infantile pyloric stenosis.
Surgery
- Definitive treatment for infantile pyloric stenosis is with surgical pyloromyotomy.[1]
- This is a relatively straightforward surgery that can be done through a single larger incision or laparoscopically (through several tiny incision*s), depending on the surgeon's experience and preference.
- Ranstedt's extramuscular pyloromyotomy is the gold standard of treatment.[2]
- After the surgery, once the stomach can empty into the duodenum, feeding can be started.
- There is occasionally recurrence in the immediate post-operative period, but the condition generally has no long-term impact on the child's future.
