Introduction: The pyloric ligament (L-Pylori), located in the upper part of the stomach, contains a large number of Helicobacter pylori bacteria. These bacteria can cause diseases such as gastritis, ulcers and stomach cancer. To effectively treat these diseases, the presence or absence of the pyloric ligament must be taken into account during diagnosis and treatment. In this article we will look at the role of the pyloric ligament in gastritis, ulcers and stomach cancer.

The role of the pyloric ligament: Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastritis, and stomach cancer. Most often, H. pylori lives in the area of ​​the pyloric ligament, which contributes to a more stable course of these diseases. This area is responsible for the barrier function of the stomach, preventing acid reflux and protecting it from other infectious agents. However, in the event of an ulcer, gastritis or cancer, the pyloric ligament should be taken into account in diagnosis and treatment. If this area is not addressed, the diagnosis and treatment process may be difficult or even impossible. Diagnostic tests for the presence of bacteria may be false negative in cases where the production of stomach acid is impaired due to dysfunction of the pyloric ligament. This can lead to misdiagnosis, overlooking important symptoms, and ultimately delaying treatment. However, it should also be noted that the pyloric ligament can cause various manifestations, which should be taken into account in the process of studying gastric diseases and their treatment. If a patient experiences more stomach-related symptoms than usual, such as vomiting or indigestion, it may be due to a problem with the privatus ligament. For example, if during the examination of a patient for a peptic ulcer, it is found that H. pylori is absent, this should not mean that the pathology is absent. Perhaps it simply did not manifest itself as a causative agent of the disease. In such cases, careful examination can help in establishing an accurate diagnosis. For example, there are certain tests that can determine the functionality of gatekeepers. They contribute to effective treatment and better adaptation for the patient. Thus, the presence or absence of pyloric ligaments in the gastrointestinal tract is an important factor in diagnosing many diseases and determining the most effective methods of their treatment.
