Surgical repair of postcaustical esophageal stenoses shows good outcomes. Esophageal resection is indicated when feasible, offering low morbidity in specialized centers, leading to successful patient reintegration.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Context:

  • Postcaustical esophageal stenoses present a significant surgical challenge.
  • Management requires specialized surgical expertise and tailored reconstructive approaches.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the 13-year surgical experience with postcaustical esophageal stenoses.
  • To assess the efficacy and outcomes of esophageal resection versus bypass procedures.

Summary:

  • A series of 25 patients underwent surgical treatment for esophageal stenoses resulting from caustic ingestion.
  • Procedures included staged reconstructions with gastrostomy/jejunostomy followed by resection or bypass.
  • Esophageal resection, often requiring complex approaches, was performed in 60% of cases.

Impact:

  • The study reports no postoperative mortality and low morbidity (20% for anastomotic leakage, 20% for pulmonary complications).
  • Long-term follow-up demonstrated excellent functional results in 96% of patients, with significant weight gain and social reintegration.
