Laparoscopic hybrid pyloromyotomy for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: A simplified technique.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric has advantage of smaller incisions, faster recovery, reduction in wound-related complications and better cosmesis.

Materials and methods

This retrospective and prospective comparative study was conducted over a period of 4.5 years in a tertiary teaching hospital in central India. All patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis diagnosed on the basis of clinical history, examination and ult
