Estenosis pilórica - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Estenosis pilórica hipertrófica congénita; Obstrucción del orificio gástrico; Estenosis pilórica hipertrófica

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento para la estenosis pilórica consiste en una cirugía para dividir o separar los músculos superdesarrollados. Ver: piloromiotomía y piloroplastia.

La dilatación con globo no funciona tan bien como la cirugía, pero se puede considerar en bebés cuando el riesgo de la anestesia general es alto.

Al paciente se le administrarán líquidos por vía intravenosa, generalmente antes de la cirugía.

Pronóstico:

La cirugía generalmente brinda un alivio completo de los síntomas. El bebé generalmente puede tolerar alimentos frecuentes y en pequeñas cantidades varias horas después de la cirugía.

Posibles complicaciones:

Las complicaciones de la estenosis pilórica abarcan:

  • Incapacidad del bebé para aumentar de peso

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si su bebé presenta síntomas de esta afección.
