We studied 4,847 infants who underwent laparoscopic (small incision) vs. open (larger incision) pyloromyotomy (cutting of the pylorus or sphincter that helps empty the stomach)
We found the following:
48% reduction in surgical site complications (wound infections, etc) for laparoscopic approach
44% reduction in post-operative length of stay (less time in the hospital after the operation) for laparoscopic approach
No difference in related readmissions or reoperations (meaning that after children were discharged they stayed at home and after their operation they did not have another operation) between laparoscopic vs. open approaches
Laparoscopic approach favored over open
