Abstract
Since 1990, we have performed extramucosal pyloromyotomies by laparosc opy in 70 infants presenting with congenital hypertrophic pyloric sten osis. Ever since the first cases, the technique and the instruments ha ve been adapted. The surgical technique and the precautionary measures are here explained again. This technique is beneficial for infants wi th a better postoperative course and avoidance of any skin scar.
