What to do if i have corrective surgery for pyloric stenosis scar tissue?

Where?: If the scar tissue you are referring to is superficial( skin, subcutaneous tissue), thee is usually little to be done. Occasionally a dermatologist may be able to do laser treatments to reduce scarring. If the scarring you mean is deeper in the tissues, these are called adhesions. If they are not causing symptoms, no treatment needed. If causing obstructive symptoms, may need further surgery.

Hope it works: Hi. What caused the scarring of the pylorus? Gastritis? Ulcers? It the corrective surgery via endoscopy (I hope!)? The issue is always that when you dilate or lyse scar tissue, it can reform. Good luck!

Sounds like you need: to have endoscopic dilatation or surgical pyloroplasty. Consult with an interventional gastroenterologist who can recommend which procedure is better for you.
