Skin Extension for Tan and Bianchi Incision in Pyloromyotomy

Abstract

Umbilical cord pyloromyotomy for infant hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) shows excellent cosmetic results, in up to 30% of cases, be this is because there is a possibility that the point of the skin fold over the muscle does not allow comfortable placement of the hypertrophic pylorus, leading to undesirable serous lacerations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of hysterectomy for IHPS using a modification of the Tan-Bianchi method.
