Abstract

Recurrent pyloric stenosis is a rare occurrence that presents weeks after initial operative management and a history of complete cessation of symptoms. We report on a case managed with a repeat laparoscopic pyloromyotomy with a successful outcome. Brief commentary is provided on the emerging significance of administration of general anesthesia and the possible long-lasting deleterious neurocognitive effects in the pediatric population
