Authors' recommendations:
The Tan–Bianchi procedure allows access to the pylorus, whilst resulting in a cosmetically favourable scar nestled within the umbilical skin folds. Reports suggest the Tan–Bianchi does not allow delivery of a large pyloric mass; however, modifications such as the omega-shaped extension, have shown to minimise the need for conversion to an open procedure. The original Tan-Bianchi including the omega–shaped extension appears to be quite popular amongst surgeons, with favourable cosmetic results and fewer serious complications.
