Aim: The purpose of this study was to report surgical management and outcome of corrosive-induced gastric injuries in children at our institute over the last decade.
Patients & Method: Medical records of patients admitted for corrosive-induced gastric injury at the Pediatric Surgery Department of Ain Shams University between January 2007 and January 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Twenty six cases (17 boys and 9 girls) were enrolled. Mean age was 3.61±1.29. Ingested agent was acid in all the patients. Main presenting symptom was gastric output obstruction in 22 cases. The interval between corrosive ingestion and presentation ranged from one to 135days (mean=43.9±34). Surgical procedure included total gastrectomy (n=2), partial gastrectomy (n=2), augmentation gastroplasty (n=1), Billroth I (n=2), antrectomy (n=2), antroplasty (n=3), gastrojejunostomy (n=2), Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty (n=9), Finney pyloroplasty (n=5), and feeding jejunostomy (n=4). Anastomotic stricture requiring a second operation developed in one patient. There were three mortalities related to the associated esophageal strictures. The mean follow-up period is 3.5years. All patients are free of symptoms and gained adequate weight.
Conclusion: Surgery is the mainstay of management for corrosive-induced gastric injuries with good long-term results. Surgical procedure should be tailored according to the patient's general condition and extent of gastric injury.
Level Of Evidence: This is a case series with no comparison group (level IV).

Article Synopsis
- Caustic ingestion can cause serious long-term health issues, including esophageal stricture and increased cancer risk, yet only a few studies have looked into the detailed tissue changes caused by such injuries.
- A retrospective study evaluated 39 surgical specimens from patients who experienced complications due to caustic ingestion between 2008 and 2020, finding that most had significant tissue damage such as deep inflammation and structural changes.
- The findings suggest that caustic ingestion primarily results in severe mucosal damage and inflammation, contributing to complications like refractory stricture, but no cases of dysplasia were identified in the examined tissues.

Corrosive-induced stricture of the esophagus is associated with long-standing morbidity. Though required in particular situations, esophagectomy circumvents the long-term complications of the remnant scarred native esophagus. We performed a robotic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for corrosive esophageal stricture and demonstrated its feasibility for the same.

Corrosive-induced stricture of the digestive tract is a dreaded complication following corrosive ingestion. When surgical reconstruction is needed, esophagectomy helps to avoid the long-term complications related to leaving behind the scarred native esophagus. We tried to ascertain the feasibility and safety of a thoracolaparoscopic-assisted esophagectomy in such a setting.

Antro-pyloric stricture with gastric outlet obstruction is a common manifestation of corrosive-induced gastric injury. Surgical management is the only curative option as endoscopic dilatation usually fails in the long term. Billroth I gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy is the preferred surgery as it restores normal alimentary pathway, reduces dumping and does not complicate colon mobilisation for the future oesophageal bypass.
