Peroral pyloromyotomy for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

None Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common condition requiring surgical treatment in infants [1]. Here, we report on the use of peroral pyloromyotomy (POP), also called gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM), which has shown promising results in the treatment of adult gastroparesis [3], for a novel application, the treatment of IHPS. In this video, we report the first application of POP in IHPS, which may indicate that POP is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective alternative for treating infants with IHPS.
