Peroral pyloromyotomy for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common condition requiring surgical treatment in infants [1]. Traditionally, the standard treatments are laparoscopic or open pyloromyotomy [2]. 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.
