Treatment of Congenital Gastric Outlet Obstruction due to a Web: A Retrospective Single-center Review

Conclusion: On the basis of our review, minimal endoscopic procedures in small newborns and toddlers require a high level of experience. They are technically challenging and need suitable equipment. Overall, endoscopists and pediatric surgeons should equally be prepared for all possible complications in every treatment step. The endoscopic approach to managing this unusual disease may require multiple interventions and is associated with a risk of perforation. Therefore, we are convinced that centers undertaking this treatment modality should be equipped with the proper instrumentation, prepared to perform multiple endoscopic interventions, and supported with an ability to emergently convert to surgery if required.
