Background: With the advancement of the minimal invasive surgery it is not well determined yet the superiority of laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) to open pyloromyotomy (OP) regarding the risk of mucosal perforation in particular. Methods: Retrospective single center study of all pyloromyotomies (2010-2018). The effect of laparoscopy on the procedure-related complications and mucosal perforation was determined and compared to other centers. Results: Data relating to 120 pyloromyotomies were analyzed during 108 months. There were two cases of mucosal perforation in the open group (3%) and non in the laparoscopic group (0%). Conclusions: In our series of pyloromyotomy. Both Open and Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy are relatively associated with low rates of complications. Never the less we conclude in specialized centers, the laparoscopic approach mucosal perforation has a lower rate.
