Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common cause of vomiting in infants. IHPS was a condition with significant associated mortality until 1912 when ramstedt introduced the operative procedure pyloromyotomy. Since then, mortality rates have reduced significantly owing to early recognition, correction of associated biochemical abnormalities and operative treatment. More recently, the management of IHPS has been modified by the introduction of the laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, first described almost two decades ago.
