Montagu's Operation

Montagu's Operation is a surgical procedure designed for treating congenital gastric outlet obstruction, particularly in infants. It involves creating a passage between the stomach and the small intestine to allow food to pass through more easily. This technique is particularly used when there is a narrowing in the area where the stomach connects to the intestine, often caused by a condition called hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. By performing this operation, surgeons help relieve the infant's symptoms, such as vomiting and dehydration, and restore normal digestion and nutrition. It’s a straightforward yet effective way to address this specific health issue.
