This article presents the results of endoscopic treatment for recurrent postcorrosive esophageal stenosis with a tube-stent developed at our institution. The tube-stent was implanted in 5 children with corrosive esophageal injury at the age of 2 to 8.5 years after 7 to 64 dilatation sessions during 5 to 118 months. In total, 13 tube-stents were implanted. One patient had undergone 9 procedures during 2.5 years and the tube-stent remained in place for 14 to 250 days. This patient was tube-stent-dependent due to the lack of any possibility of surgical reconstruction. Two patients had the tube-stent removed after 150 to 205 days and they remain free from esophageal restenosis. One patient did not tolerate the tube-stent, evacuated it after 1 day and was referred for surgical esophagus replacement. One patient is currently still being treated with the tube-stent. Tube-stent was well tolerated and it may be effective in children with recurrent critical postcorrosive esophageal stenosis.

Background Endoscopic dilatation is the cornerstone therapy for esophageal strictures. The primary indication for dilatation is to provide immediate and durable symptomatic relief from dysphagia. Following esophageal dilatation, the two most common major consequences are bleeding and perforation, both of which are quite rare.

Ingestion of corrosive substances is most common in children, while in adults causes more severe damages. Massive ingestion of corrosive substances results in severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract and oropharynx if not treated properly. Corrosive substances with pH<2 or >12 can result in severe esophageal damage with either colliquative (alkaline) or coagulative (acidic) necrosis and, at the same time various gastrointestinal injuries could lead to late post-corrosive complications.

Background: Reflux is one of the most common late complications after gastric tube esophageal replacement in children. Herein, we report a novel approach for safely and selectively replacing the caustic strictured thoracic esophagus with a detached reversed gastric tube (d-RGT) pedicled graft with preservation of the cardia and implementation of thoracoscopy for optimizing the mediastinal pull-through process, and its outcomes.
Methods: All children who presented to our facility with an intractable postcorrosive thoracic esophageal stricture through 2020 and 2021 were enrolled in this study.
