    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Congenital antral webs can cause gastric outlet obstruction in infants.
    • Treatment options range from surgical excision to conservative management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of surgical and non-operative treatments for partially obstructing antral webs in infants.
    • To determine the natural history and optimal management strategy for this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective follow-up study of 11 infants diagnosed with partially obstructing antral webs.
    • Patients were divided into surgical (web excision and pyloroplasty) and non-operative (antispasmodics, special formula) groups.
    • Clinical symptoms, treatment outcomes, and radiographic findings were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Five of seven surgically treated infants experienced persistent postoperative vomiting.
    • All patients, regardless of treatment, were symptom-free at 6 months post-treatment.
    • Upper gastrointestinal radiography showed no persistence of the antral web in non-operated patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Partially obstructing antral webs in infancy appear to be a self-limited condition.
    • Surgical correction is generally reserved for cases with severe clinical presentation.
    • Conservative management may be effective for less severe cases, avoiding surgical risks.
