Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is a common congenital condition in infants.
  • Surgical correction is the standard treatment for HPS.
  • Optimal surgical incision for HPS remains an area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of a supraumbilical transverse midline skin incision for treating HPS.
  • To present this incision as a viable alternative surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Forty infants with HPS underwent surgery using a supraumbilical transverse midline skin incision.
  • The technique involved retracting the rectus muscles apart to access the pylorus.

Main Results:

  • The supraumbilical incision provided good surgical exposure.
  • Improved delivery of the pylorus was achieved.
  • The closure resulted in a strong repair and favorable cosmetic results.

Conclusions:

  • The supraumbilical transverse midline incision is a safe and effective method for HPS surgery.
  • This approach offers advantages in exposure, pyloric delivery, and aesthetics.
  • It is proposed as a valuable alternative for the operative management of HPS.
