Pylorostomy

Pylorostomy: what is it and how is it performed?

Pylorostomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat pyloric stenosis, which is a bottleneck in the lower part of the stomach where it connects to the duodenum. Due to pyloric stenosis, food cannot pass freely from the stomach to the intestines, which can lead to various problems including vomiting, constipation, exhaustion and dehydration.

Pylorostomy is performed by creating an opening in the pyloric wall, allowing food to pass freely from the stomach into the intestines. This procedure can be performed either by open surgery or using laparoscopic techniques.

In an open pylorostomy, the surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's abdomen to gain access to the stomach. He then makes a small hole in the pyloric wall and secures it in an open position to allow free flow of food. After the procedure, the patient remains in the hospital for several days for observation and recovery.

Laparoscopic pylorostomy is performed using small incisions in the patient's abdomen. The surgeon inserts a laparoscope - a thin tube with a video camera and instruments - through small ports in the abdomen to create an opening in the pyloric wall. This procedure usually has less trauma and faster recovery for the patient.

Pylorostomy is an effective procedure for treating pyloric stenosis and can improve the patient's quality of life by allowing the patient to eat freely and avoid complications associated with poor digestion. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and the patient should discuss these with their doctor before the procedure.

Pylorostomy is a surgical operation that involves creating an artificial opening in the pyloric canal of the stomach. This is done in order to improve the passage of food through the stomach and reduce the likelihood of reflux (reflux) of stomach contents into the esophagus.

Pylorostomy is performed for various diseases of the stomach, such as ulcers, stomach cancer, pyloric stenosis and others. It can be performed either open or laparoscopically.

Before the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and determine the indications for pylorostomy.

After surgery, the patient must follow certain dietary and lifestyle recommendations to avoid possible complications.

In general, pylorostomy is an effective treatment for many stomach diseases, but requires careful monitoring and supervision by a doctor.
