“This illustrates the essential place of the closure of the pylorus by tonic contraction in the prevention of such reflux.”

“The muscle of the pylorus does, however, show the high degree of myogenic tone characteristic of other sphincters.”

“In addition, gastric lavage can actually push the gastric contents beyond the pylorus, which enhances absorption.”

“Pyloromyotomy and pyloroplasty are generally considered simple procedures, however, they may be complicated by stricture, leak, and even death.”

“If the pyloric canal fails to open to its full extent, then the pylorospasm is more likely significant.”

“Out before there has been an ulcer formed we may have a functional or intermittent pylorospasm from excessive acidity.”

“As these signs may be absent where numerous tests convincingly demonstrate pylorospasm, we must conclude that there is no essential interrelation between obstruction at the pylorus and hyperkinesis.”

“The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy, resection of the gastric mass, pyloroplasty, truncal vagotomy, and cyst duodenostomy.”

“All gastric operations involving vagotomy included the breach of the pylorus, usually by pyloroplasty.”

“The other 2 cases underwent surgical therapy including pyloroplasty, cholecystectomy and Roux-en-Y gastroduodenostomy.”

“In children, intestinal spirochetosis has been associated with ascariasis, enterobiasis, and Helicobacter pylori gastritis.”

“However, the eradication double therapy that eliminated the H. pylori may also have eliminated other, established halitotic bacteria.”

“Such a strategy involves treating dyspeptic patients positive for H pylori without actual ulcer disease.”
