    Summary

    A patient survived severe gastric and duodenal necrosis from sulfuric acid ingestion. Surgical removal of affected organs followed by delayed reconstruction, supported by continuous enteral nutrition, proved successful.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Sulfuric acid ingestion can cause severe gastrointestinal tract injury.
    • Gastric and duodenal necrosis presents a critical surgical challenge.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with extensive gastric and duodenal necrosis post-sulfuric acid ingestion.
    • The necrotic tissue involved the stomach and the duodenopancreatic region.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment involved subtotal gastrectomy and duodenopancreatectomy.
    • Delayed reconstruction of the digestive tract continuity was achieved.
    • Continuous enteral nutrition was essential for recovery and management.

    Implications:

    • This surgical approach offers a viable option for managing severe corrosive gastrointestinal injuries.
    • The critical role of early and sustained enteral nutrition in post-operative recovery is highlighted.
    • This case demonstrates the feasibility of complex reconstructive surgery in severe corrosive injuries.
