    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Innovation
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is frequently managed by general and pediatric surgeons.
    • Successful pyloromyotomy leads to positive patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, modified clamp for performing pyloromyotomy.
    • To evaluate the safety, versatility, and ease of use of the proposed instrument.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a modified, curved, 6-inch clamp.
    • Utilizing the clamp to perform pyloromyotomy, mimicking actions of established instruments.
    • Assessing the instrument's performance in terms of ease of use and effectiveness.

    Main Results:

    • The modified clamp facilitates pyloromyotomy with actions similar to commonly used instruments.
    • The instrument is designed to be safe, versatile, and user-friendly.
    • A natural spreader for the pylorus, derived from the clamp design, is simple and inexpensive to produce.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified clamp presents a valuable addition to surgical tools for pyloromyotomy.
    • This instrument enhances the surgical experience for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis treatment.
    • The design promotes a safe, effective, and cost-efficient surgical approach.
