}}A '''pyloromyotomy''' is a surgical procedure performed to correct [[pyloric stenosis]] in infants. Pyloric stenosis typically presents during the first 3 months of life, classically with projectile vomiting, poor feeding, and dehydration, though some or all of these may not be present if diagnosed early.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Taylor|first=Nicole D.|last2=Cass|first2=Daniel T.|last3=Holland|first3=Andrew J.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Surgical procedure&amp;lt;!-- Briefly describe the major steps of this surgical procedure. --&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
The procedure is most commonly performed laparoscopically, but can also be performed open through a small incision.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Askew|first=Nathan|date=2010|title=An overview of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21066945|journal=Paediatric Nursing|volume=22|issue=8|pages=27–30|doi=10.7748/paed.22.8.27.s27|issn=0962-9513|pmid=21066945}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After establishing access to the pylorus and identification of the hypertrophied pyloric muscle, the outer layers of tissue and muscle are cut to the mucosa. The two portions of the pylorus muscle are then tested for mobility and the mucosa is inspected for any unintentional damage prior to closure. &lt;br /&gt;

==Procedure variants&amp;lt;!-- This section should only be used for cases with multiple approaches (e.g. Laparoscopic vs. open appendectomy). Otherwise, remove this section. Use this table to very briefly compare and contrast various aspects between approaches. Add or remove rows as needed to maximize relevance. Consider using symbols rather than words when possible (e.g. +, –, additional symbols such as ↑ and ↓ are available using the &amp;quot;Ω&amp;quot; tool in the editor). --&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
