Abstract

Background: HPS is a common obstruction in infants, necessitating an in-depth analysis of demographic profiles and surgical outcomes for effective management. This study aimed to investigate the clinical insights of pyloric muscle measurements and serum electrolytes during the practice within a tertiary hospital setting, utilizing a convenient sample size for analysis.

Results: Infants predominantly male with HPS presented with an average weight of 3.487 ± 0.886 kg and experienced an average hospital stay of 47.87 ± 74.18 days. Following pyloric muscle correction, 40% of infants gradually resumed feeding, while 40% immediately accepted oral intake. Significant correlations were observed between pyloric muscle dimensions, presentation weight, and duration from birth to admission. Serum Na and K levels exhibited positive correlations, while serum Cl displayed a negative association with the duration from birth to admission.

Conclusion: This study offers detailed insights into the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and surgical outcomes of infants with HPS undergoing pyloromyotomy. These findings contribute to a better understanding of HPS management in infants, warranting further investigation through larger-scale studies for validation.
