Radiological anatomy after pyloroplasty

Abstract

The radiological anatomy of the pyloro-duodenal area after pyloroplasty is described. The deformity produced by pyloroplasty is shown in the patient with a normal pylorus and duodenum and in the patient with a duodenal ulcer and stenosis. From a study of 24 asymptomatic patients after pyloroplasty it is possible to recognize the radiological features that indicate a successful operation.
