Pyloric Stenosis Treated by Parietal Cell Vagotomy and Gastrojejunostomy

Aspects of Nutrition after Vagotomy and Gastrojejunostomy.

Absorption Studies after Gastrojejunostomy with and without Vagotomy.

Of the various procedures used in the treatment of duodenal ulcer, subtotal gastrectomy has been studied most extensively from the point of view of resulting metabolic disturbance (Butler, 1961; Stammers and Williams, 1963). The alternative procedures, vagotomy combined with gastrojejunostomy, pyloroplasty, or antrectomy, are now coming under the same scrutiny, and it is hoped that the results ...

How Should the Pyloric Submucosal Mass Coexisting with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis Be Treated?: A Case of Pyloric Ectopic Pancreas with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

Co-existing pyloric submucosal masses with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) are very rare and treating these lesions is always a problem. A 20-day-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of projectile non-bilious vomiting lasting for 5 days. HPS was suspected due to the presenting age and the symptoms. The sonography demonstrated not only circumferential wall thickening of the pylorus, but...

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infancy treated with methyl scopolamine nitrate.

The treatment of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infancy has provoked many lively discussions and papers during the last 20 years in which the rival claims of medical and surgical treatment have been ably demonstrated. At the same time, increasing interest and skill in diagnosis of the disorders of early infancy have enabled large series of cases to be collected. A review of the literature sho...

Highly selective vagotomy plus dilatation of the stenosis compared with truncal vagotomy and drainage in the treatment of pyloric stenosis secondary to duodenal ulceration.

Twenty-three consecutive patients with duodenal ulceration complicated by pyloric stenosis who came under the care of one surgeon were treated by highly selective vagotomy (HSV) combined with digital dilatation of the stenosis through a gastrotomy. No form of drainage procedure was used. Thus the antral "mill" and the pyloric sphineter were left intact. Since the stenosis is usually distal to ...
