Detailed Description
Patients will be identified at the time the need for laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is determined by the consulting surgeon. After informed permission is obtained, demographic information will be collected on all subjects. Subjects who do not have PPV at the time of surgery will have no further data collected and their study participation will be complete. Subjects who have PPV will receive annual phone calls, emails, or other contact methods selected by the family, for up to before their 18th birthday or until they report having surgical inguinal hernia repair. Data will be recorded as noted on the master list and datasheet and entered into a REDCap database. All participating institutions will upload data into REDCap along with subject contact information so all follow up contact can be made by the coordinating center. All identifiable information in REDCap will be accessible by the coordinating center. Each enrolling center will have access to identifiers for their subjects only. Enrolling centers will be contacted and asked to update the contact information in REDCap if the coordinating center is not able to make contact with a subject. Subjects will also be given contact information for the coordinating center so they can provide updated information directly. Parents will be the main study contact for the duration of the study since no study interventions other than the phone call/email are required.
During laparoscopy for pyloric stenosis, the surgeon will turn the camera downward to answer the first question, whether the inguinal canal is patent or closed. Many surgeons routinely perform this maneuver; it takes no more than 10 seconds to perform and adds no risk to the operation. The study will include a quick estimate of width and depth of the PPV as outlined in the datasheet to characterize the size of the opening. The first characterization will be the presence of CO2 in the scrotum/labia upon insufflation, which clarifies that the PPV provides wide continuity from the abdomen to beyond the inguinal canal. The second characterization will be an estimate of the width of the opening in millimeters. The next step will be to note whether the bottom of the defect is seen. This is, by definition, no if the answer to the first question is yes and this no longer applies. Therefore the no answer to this question will identify those with an open tunnel but no external insufflation. Finally, if the bottom is seen then an estimate will be made in millimeters.
If there is no PPV, meaning the patient presents normal anatomy, the patient demographic data will be recorded and this will terminate their participation.
If a PPV is present, the investigators will conduct annual phone calls, or other contact method of the family's choice, to ask questions about whether the child has been diagnosed with hernia, underwent hernia repair or currently has symptoms consistent with a hernia (questionnaire attached). Subjects will be followed until hernia repair or as long as possible, up to their 18th birthday.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Infants with PPV
During laparoscopy for pyloric stenosis, the surgeon will turn the camera downward to answer the first question, whether the inguinal canal is patent or closed.
If a PPV is present, the subject will be followed for up to 18 years of age.
|
Data will be collected for up to 18 years to monitor for inguinal hernia.
|
Infants without PPV
During laparoscopy for pyloric stenosis, the surgeon will turn the camera downward to answer the first question, whether the inguinal canal is patent or closed.
If there is no PPV, meaning they have normal anatomy, the patient demographic data will be recorded and this will terminate their participation.
|
Basic data will be collected regarding the surgery and the subject's study participation will be complete.
