| | pyloric stenosis |
 | | The treatment of choice for pyloric stenosis is a surgical procedure known as a pyloroplasty. | | | When an infant has pyloric stenosis, the pyloric muscle is enlarged, narrowing the entrance to the small intestine. | | | This is not a contagious condition, but it can run in families. |

| | Reeve (l98l) points out that the traditional definition of a sphincter is a ring-like muscle which controls the opening of a body orifice or constricts the lumen of a natural body passage, one of the essential functions being to delay the passage of intestinal contents. | | | According to these authors, the emphasis laid on the closing properties of sphincters is anatomically and physiologically inaccurate and clouds the understanding of the functional significance of sphincters; the mechanism for opening is equally important as the one for closing, and it would be preferable to regard all sphincters as gatekeepers. | | | This definition is considered to be sound for all smooth muscle sphincters (but is not applicable to the crico-pharyngeal and external anal sphincters, which contain striated muscle). |

| | Defecation occurs as a reflux to distention pressures of the rectum with relaxation of the internal and external anal sphincters. | | | The internal anal sphincter is made of smooth muscle and is relaxed via parasympathetic innervation with the pudendal nerve. | | | There is also a parasympathetic defecation reflex, where parasympathetic signals are sent to the sacral segments via the pelvic nerve and then back to the colon reflexly to greatly intensify peristaltic waves and relax the internal anal sphincter. |

| | Sphincter |
| | The sphincter is a circular muscle that constricts a passage or closes a natural orifice. | | | That causes the detrusor muscle to contract and the sphincter mechanism to relax. | | | During urination, the detrusor contracts and the sphincter mechanism relaxes, allowing smooth outflow of urine. |

| | The intraluminal pressure measurements and the radiographic and fluoroscopic studies all showed that the sphincteric mechanism of the ileocecal valve was preserved in its new location, that gastrointestinal motility was not impaired, and that the healthy condition of the animals was maintained. | | | The purpose of this experimental study in dogs was to replace the pylorus with the ileocecal valve and determine whether its sphincteric function would be preserved in its new location without affecting gastrointestinal motility and the health of the animals. | | | BACKGROUND: Several surgical methods have been devised and applied to overcome the complications associated with the loss of the pyloric sphincter after distal gastrectomy. |

| | Pyloric valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One medical condition associated with the pylorus is pyloric stenosis. | | | In such conditions as stomach cancer, when tumours may partly block the pyloric canal, a special tube can be implanted surgically to connect the stomach to the duodenum to assist food to pass from one to the other. | | | It is divided in two parts: the pyloric antrum, which connects to the body of the stomach, and the pyloric canal, which connects to the duodenum. |
