Pyloric antral mucosal webs.
The current literature on pyloric antral mucosal webs was reviewed. In addition, seven patients in the Mayo Clinic experience with pyloric antral mucosal webs are reported on. In recent years, four patients with significant obstructive symptoms thought to be caused by a mucosal web have had the diagnosis confirmed at surgery and have had excellent results from a variety of surgical procedures.
