Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | 53, (11), 2017, p. 1105-1110 | Pages: | 1105-1110 | Journal: | Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health | Abstract: | Over the last hundred years, idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has undergone an evolution in treatment, with subsequent improvements in outcome. Initially, it was treated by physicians with antispasmodics and various alternative feeding and resuscitation modalities. The evolution of surgical approaches led to a revolution in outcome, from almost certain death to complete cure. The progression of surgical and medical treatments is reviewed in this article until, ultimately, Ramstedt's pyloromyotomy is reached. This distilled operation has remained the gold-standard procedure for over a century.L6193534882017-11-27 | DOI: | 10.1111/jpc.13736 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L619353488&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jpc.13736 | | Keywords: | human;hydration;idiopathic disease;idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis;malnutrition;pathology;physician;priority journal;pyloromyotomy;death;resuscitation;review;systole;treatment outcome;spasmolytic agentclinical feature;pylorus stenosis;feeding;fluid resuscitation;gold standard | Type: | Article |
