Abstract
Sixteen patients were treated medically for pyloric stenosis. Five had surgery after failure of the medical program which, with one exception, was associated with failure to carry out a specified feeding regimen and supportive procedures. Success or failure of medical management did not seem to correlate with severity of clinical findings or with abnormalities present before treatment. Results of roentgenographic examinations of 14 patients six months to seven years after treatment demonstrated no difference in the condition of those treated surgically or medically.
