title: Vascular clamp stabilization of pylorus during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.
abstract: We describe a technique of grasping the pylorus during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy using a percutaneously inserted vascular clamp. The use of the vascular clamp results in better visualization and stabilization during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.
