Abstract: There is no strong evidence to support a recommendation of one procedure over the other; therefore, the choice of laparoscopic or open procedure should be left to the discretion of the surgeon.

“…It is also worth noting these are the last 2 years prior to the introduction of LP at our centres, but the significance of this is unclear. As previously demonstrated, 17 LPs provide a reduced time to full feeds and discharge, and part of this effect may be reflected in our data subsequent to these years. On the other hand, more objective outcome measures, including biochemical and ultrasound findings, add validity to our study and are more reliable when examining overall trends.…”

“…Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses noted no differences between peri-and postoperative complications. Both studies did not specifically mention serosal tears of the stomach, fascial dehiscence and OH, but analyzed different combinations of major (perioperative) complications or all complications together 3,4 . www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ To classify the severity of the complications of pyloromyotomy we used the Clavien-Dindo classification 21 .…”

“…Complication rates vary between 4.6-12% 1,2 . There are no differences in operative and postoperative complication rates between laparoscopic and open pyloromyotomy [3][4][5][6] . The most frequently reported complications are incomplete pyloromyotomy, mucosal perforation and wound infection 1,2,[7][8][9][10] .…”
