| Abstract | A NOTE ON THE TREATMENT OF HYPERTROPHIC PYLORIC STENOSIS. By DAVID LEVI, M.S., F.R.C.S. (Surgeon, Infants Hospital.) Many papers on pyloric stenosis have been published in the past. The writers, in many of them, have distinguished between their hospital mortality and their private case mortality. The hospital mortality in England has always been much higher than the mortality of private practice. In this communication, a list of all patients treated at the Infants Hospital during the years I934 and 1935 is appended, but as the total number amounts to fifty, it is hardly justifiable to be dogmatic or to draw definite conclusions from such a small series of cases. Before a definite opinion as to the value of any particular method of treatment can be stated, a very much larger number of patients must pass through one's hands. The present series herewith presented. commences from I934. This is the year when the routine surgical procedure was changed. In the series no case was refused operation, for no child is ever too ill to be operated on for this condition. This is a fact that has not received full recognition. In the following table patient No. I had gastric uremia and was in extremis when operated on, patient No. 44 in the list had a temperature which varied between 9i.8' F. and 940 F. in the three days prior to operation, although every feasible measure was adopted to raise the temperature. Table I. Details of Cases Reviewed. |
