Abstract
The results of 222 cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis operated on at the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth, from 1979 to 1984, have been reviewed. There were no deaths, but there was a 7% incidence of wound infection and a 72% incidence of postoperative vomiting. Staphylococcus Aureus was cultured from 62% of the infected wounds. Prophylaxis against Staphylococcus Aureus infection and delayed introduction of feeding are suggested.Keywords
