| | The pylorus is examined through a very small incision, and the muscles that are overgrown and thickened are spread. | | | A surgical procedure called pyloromyotomy, which involves cutting through the thickened muscles of the pylorus, is performed to relieve the obstruction from pyloric stenosis. | | | It's important to talk to your child's doctor if your baby experiences any of these symptoms. |
