Simple, primary, or idiopathic hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle in the adult resembles the congenital pyloric hypertrophy of infants, and no associated lesion, such as a peptic ulcer, is apparent. The hypertrophy, which narrows and elongates the pyloric canal, is limited to the muscle of the pyloric sphincter and, most commonly, mainly involves the circular muscle; sometimes it is focal. The c...

Functional Intestinal obstruction due to deficiency of argyrophil neurones in the myenteric plexus: famnlial syndrome presenting with short small bowel, malrotation, and pyloric hypertrophy. In 3 infants functional intestinal obstruction, associated with a short small intestine, malrotation, and pylori...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely accepted as a curative treatment for gastric neoplasm. Pyloric stenosis is a chronic complication that can be caused by ESD. The aim of this study is to clarify the risk factors and management for pyloric stenosis. From January 2004 to January 2014, a total of 126 patients who underwent ESD adjacent to pylorus were reviewed retrospectively....

Background: Benign pyloric stenosis in not uncommon problem. Different treatment modalities can be implemented each has its drawbacks. In this present a new technique of placement of biodegradable oesophageal stent for treating gastric outlet obstruction secondary to benign peptic stricture Method: 23 year old lady had long history of gastric outlet obstruction secondary to pyloric stenosis req...

BACKGROUND/AIM A gastric conduit is usually used to reconstruct the foregut after esophagectomy for cancer. The gastric emptying may be impaired after this operation, so some esophageal surgeons routinely add a pyloric drainage procedure (pyloroplasty or pyloromyotomy). We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the effect of pyloric drainage on patient out...

We report a case of adult pyloric obstruction caused by the delayed presentation of a congenital gastric diverticulum. The derivation, classification and treatment of these abnormalities are discussed.

Chemical studies of the blood and urine of four dogs following pyloric obstruction are reported. The observations of other workers that a fall in chlorides and a rise in CO(2)-combining power of the plasma occur, are confirmed. There is also a marked rise in the non-protein nitrogen of the blood, consisting mainly of urea nitrogen and undetermined nitrogen. The fall in chlorides is not due to t...
