On congenital hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus in infants

Abstract

In conclusion, I should like to state my firm conviction that in the future, even among hospital patients, the mortality of Congenital Pyloric stenosis cases will be slowly but surely reduced by a more general use of Rammstedts' method of operation. The few recoveries after operation that have occurred in this hospital,under most adverse conditions, and the unquestionable relief from obstructive symptoms that has followed in certain cases where death from some other cause has eventually occurred, make one look forward hopefully to the future treatment and prognosis of this disease.
