A new spreader tool for pyloromyotomy surgery was developed for infant congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This innovative device is safe, effective, and useful for the procedure.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Surgery
Surgical Innovation
Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (CHPS) is a common surgical condition in infants.
Pyloromyotomy is the standard surgical treatment for CHPS.
Existing surgical instruments may have limitations in certain pyloromyotomy procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel modified spreader designed for pyloromyotomy.
To assess the safety, efficacy, and utility of the new spreader in treating CHPS.

Main Methods:

Development of a modified spreader instrument.
Application of the spreader during pyloromyotomy surgeries for CHPS.
Clinical assessment of surgical outcomes and instrument performance.

Keywords:
