00:01 Welcome back. 00:02 Thanks for joining me on this discussion of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the section of pediatric surgery. 00:10 Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was one of my favorite things to take care of when I was a resident because most babies do quite well and it’s extremely satisfying. 00:19 Let's take a look at the anatomy. 00:21 On the left side – left side of the screen is a normal anatomy. 00:25 You see the esophagus, the stomach tapering into the pyloric channel, and the first portion of the duodenum. 00:32 On the right side of the screen, you note that the channel – the pyloric channel, that is – is enlarged. 00:38 This is the area known as pyloric stenosis. 00:42 It is defined by the hypertrophy of the pylorus. 00:45 You can imagine then that with an obstruction there, babies may not do very well with feeds. 00:53 What's the common presentation for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis? It is more common in male babies and preterm infants and generally associated with the firstborn. 01:05 Of course, as you know, many patients don't present like textbooks. 01:08 Anything is possible. 01:12 What are some risk factors and etiology? Well, we don't really know. 01:16 It's unclear, the etiology, but it's important to recognize the associations. 01:21 Maternal smoking. 01:22 Remember, maternal smoking is associated with many, many problems in babies. 01:27 Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is only one of them. 01:31 Once again, bottle-feeding. 01:33 Remember, our lecture on necrotizing enterocolitis and its association with bottle-fed babies? This is why many societies recommend breast-feeding. 01:44 There may be a genetic component, although we don't exactly know where the mutation lies. 01:49 There are some historical facts that some male babies also have fathers or cousins who have hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. 01:58 And there's also a loose association with the use of erythromycin. 02:03 The use of erythromycin has largely been abandoned in babies.
The lecture Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis by Kevin Pei, MD is from the course Special Surgery.
