Background/aims: A method for pyloroplasty with complete reconstruction of the pyloric area is presented.

Methodology: The method had been preliminarily tested in dogs and then clinically applied in 28 peptic ulcer patients. The task was solved by pneumatic preparation and ring-shaped removal of pylorus musculature within a zone of 3.0-3.5 cm the integrity of the underlying mucous muff was preserved and the latter was invaginated into the lumen. Thus a circular mucous-submucous valve in the region of the gastroduodenal ligament was formed. Due to the preserved anatomical integrity, innervation and blood supply of this mucous-submucous layer after its pleating created a zone wide like a normal pylorus between the stomach and duodenum.

Results: The duration of the postoperative follow-up was between 6 months and 10 years. The newly created valve looked like a normal pylorus. It was 6 mm thick and 11 mm high and protruded into the lumen. The submucous layer was doubled, richly vascularized, and the muscular layers were continuous.

Conclusions: This operative technique could successfully be applied in gastric surgery for preventing the dumping syndrome and gastric reflux when pyloroplasty is required.

Advanced Segmentation of Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancer Disease Using a Novel U-MaskNet Model.

Life (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Electrical, Computer Engineering and Computer Science, Ohio Northern University, Ada, OH 45810, USA.

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the development of approaches for the classification and segmentation of various gastrointestinal (GI) cancer diseases, such as dyed lifted polyps, dyed resection margins, esophagitis, normal cecum, normal pylorus, normal Z line, polyps, and ulcerative colitis. This research is relevant and essential because of the current challenges related to the absence of efficient diagnostic tools for early diagnostics of GI cancers, which are fundamental for improving the diagnosis of these common diseases. To address the above challenges, we propose a new hybrid segmentation model, U-MaskNet, which is a combination of U-Net and Mask R-CNN models.

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction has been gradually increasing in recent years. Due to the smaller resection range, partial preservation of the function of stomach, high safety, better postoperative nutritional status, and lesser negative psychological impact on patients, the application of proximal gastrectomy has increased significantly. Proximal gastrectomy disrupts the normal anatomical structure of the esophagogastric junction, resulting in permanent loss of the anti-reflux function of the cardia.

Pyloric impedance planimetry during endoscopic per-oral pyloromyotomy guides myotomy extent.

J Gastrointest Surg

January 2025

Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH, United States; Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, The MetroHealth System, Cleveland, OH, United States.

Background: Per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP), also known as gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy, is the first-line endoscopic intervention for medically refractory gastroparesis. This study aimed to assess the value of pyloric impedance planimetry using a functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) during POP.

Methods: Patients who underwent POP between October 2019 and February 2024 were retrospectively reviewed.

Pediatric Pyloric Transection: An Unusual Injury Following Blunt Abdominal Trauma.

Am J Case Rep

September 2024

Department of Pediatric General Surgery, King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric trauma often presents unique injury patterns due to anatomical and physiological differences, requiring clinicians to be prepared for diverse cases, including rare injuries like isolated pyloric damage.
  • A case of a 19-month-old boy with abdominal pain and vomiting after being injured by a falling wardrobe demonstrated severe trauma, leading to the discovery of a complete transection of the pylorus during surgery.
  • Isolated pyloric injuries in children are rare and can lead to significant complications; thus, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for better recovery outcomes.
