Abstract
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common problem which is seen in pediatric surgical unit. The incidence of IHPS is approximately 1–3 per 1,000 live births. It is more common in males, with a male-to female ratio of 4:1. The gold standard surgical treatment in the last century has been the longitudinal splitting of the seromuscular layer of the pylorus without suturing, which is defined as ‘‘Ramstedt’s pyloromyotomy’’. Laparoscopic approach was introduced in 1991. The potential advantages of the laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) are shorter hospital stay, improved cosmesis, shorter postoperative recovery, less ost-operative pain, even more, less post-operative vomiting.
