Craig McBride is a paediatric surgeon at Lady Cilento in Brisbane. Here he talks about how we have moved on from the days of maximally invasive surgery when a barber-surgeon was not judged on the neatness of their sutures but on the sharpness of their blade.
We are not quite at the level of Raquel Welch/Stephen Boyd or Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan just yet but we are standing on the precipice of a revolution in minimally invasive surgery. The essential component of the pyloromyotomy is the same now as described by Ramstedt way back in 1911. The real change is in how we get to the pylorus.
If you want to read more about how far we have come then take a look at this paper…
