title: [Pyoroplasty with "cruciform" incision of the pylorus].
abstract: In cases when the pylorus area is significantly modified by the presence of the ulcerative lesions, frequently associated with hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter, which does not allow to carry out in satisfactory conditions pyloroplasty of the Heinecke-Mikulicz type, the author introduces an improvement of the above mentioned technique by adding anterior sphincterectomy, obtained by a "cross like" incision of the pylorus. The final suture of the pyloroplasty is exclusively of the transversal type, in a single or in a double layer, when the lumina of the pylorus allows for such a suture.
