English translation:Feidd's pyloroplasty
Explanation:
Or maybe 'pyloroplasty of Feidd'. Feidd must be the doctor who developed the technique, therefore it is named after him.
pyloroplasty=widening of the pyloric canal and any adjacent duodenal stricture by means of a longitudinal incision closed transversely.

Explanation:
"Piloroplastia" is *****"Pyloroplasty"**** in English. As for "de Feidd" I have no idea what it refers to; maybe you could give us more context to work with

Pyloroplasty is an elective surgical procedure in which the lower portion of the stomach, the pylorus, is cut and resutured, to relax the muscle and widen the opening into the intestine. Pyloroplasty is a treatment for high risk patients for gastric or peptic ulcer disease. A peptic ulcer is a well-defined sore on the stomach where the lining of the stomach or duodenum has been eaten way by stomach acid and digestive juices.
