Rapidly Performed Pyloroplasty.

Pyloroplasty Jon

By incision of the pyloric muscle and “plastic” reconstruction of the pyloric channel, pyloroplasty facilitates gastric emptying when the gastric outlet is obstructed either mechanically by ulcer, stenosis, or hypertrophy, or functionally by antropyloric vagotomy. First described by Heineke in 1886 and by Mikulicz in 1888, the Heineke-Mikulicz technique is still considered the principal pylorop...

Y-u Advancement Pyloroplasty as an Alternative to Transverse Pyloroplasty to Relieve Pyloric Stenosis in Dogs

Two commonly used surgical procedures i.e., transverse pyloroplasty and Y-U advancement flap pyloroplasty were compared to observe the relieve of pyloric stenosis in dogs. In this experimental design, twelve healthy mongrel dogs were used with further division of three groups, A, B and C comprising of four dogs in each group. The dogs of group A were subjected to Transverse pyloroplasty whereas...

Selective proximal vagotomy with and without pyloroplasty.

The early results of a prospective randomized clinical trial of selective proximal vagotomy with and without gastric drainage in a total of 36 patients are reported. In spite of adequate average acid reduction and little evidence of gastric retention two definite recurrent ulcers have occurred in the 16 patients who did not have a pyloroplasty. Further trials of the effect of selective proximal...
