Description
Six important errors to avoid during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis:
1. Operating before correcting dehydration, electrolyte disturbances and alkalosis.
2. Rough handling of the pylorus or duodenum.
3. Cutting too deeply and injuring the underlying mucosa.
4. Leaving an incomplete myotomy with residual obstructing muscle fibres.
5. Forceful spreading or overextension at the duodenal end.
6. Skipping final checks of myotomy completeness, mucosal integrity and haemostasis.
A concise educational video for paediatric surgeons and surgical trainees, highlighting physiological preparation, gentle tissue handling and careful muscle separation.
