    Early recognition of gastric injury via flexible endoscopy can prevent fatal perforations after acid ingestion. This method allows for timely intervention, minimizing surgical risks and improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Acid ingestion poses a significant risk of gastric perforation.
    • Delayed recognition of perforation is linked to increased operative mortality.
    • Fiber-optic endoscopy offers a method for assessing gastric injury depth.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of flexible endoscopy in predicting and managing gastric injuries post-acid ingestion.
    • To determine the optimal timing and frequency of endoscopic procedures.
    • To assess the risk of perforation associated with endoscopic interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Flexible endoscopy performed upon admission for acid ingestion.
    • Serial endoscopic examinations at 12- to 24-hour intervals.

  • Monitoring for injury stability, reversibility, and progression.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopy accurately predicts gastric injury depth, enabling pre-perforation intervention.
    • Risk of gastric perforation during endoscopy is minimal when performed by skilled practitioners.
    • Early endoscopic assessment guides decisions on operative intervention and medical follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Flexible endoscopy is a crucial tool for managing acid-induced gastric injuries.
    • Timely and repeated endoscopic evaluation can prevent operative mortality.
    • Comprehensive follow-up and nutritional support are vital for patients with severe gastric damage.
