Colonic interposition for Esophageal Substitution. Esophageal stenosis caused by caustic soda This 18 year-old male, at the edged of 3 suffered of esophageal burn caused by accidental swallowing of caustic soda having a caustic injury. At the edged of 4 underwent of colonic interposition for esophageal substitution, (substitution of esophagus with vascularized colon) 1 month after the surgery a severe stenosis of the cervical junction appears, since that time the patient remain with a Foley's catheter used as Percutaneous gastrostomy. at the edged of 18 a new surgery to overcome the stenosis was performed, but the stenosis re-appears one month after.

Colonic interposition for Esophageal Substitution

Esophageal stenosis caused by caustic soda

 This 18 year-old male, at the edged of 3 suffered of
 esophageal burn caused by accidental swallowing of caustic
 soda having a caustic injury. At the edged of 4
 underwent of colonic interposition for esophageal
 substitution, (substitution of esophagus with vascularized
 colon) 1 month after the surgery a severe stenosis of the
 cervical junction appears, since that time the patient remain
 with a Foley's catheter used as Percutaneous gastrostomy.
 at the edged of 18 a new surgery to overcome the stenosis
 was performed, but the stenosis re-appears one month
 after.

A hydrostatic balloon has been used to perform dilation. Caustic substances (strong acids and alkalies), when swallowed, can burn the tongue, mouth, esophagus, and stomach. These burns may cause perforation (piercing) of the esophagus or stomach. Food and saliva leaking from a perforation cause severe, sometimes deadly infection within the chest (mediastinitis or empyema) or abdomen (peritonitis). Burns that do not perforate can result in scarring of the esophagus and stomach.

A hydrostatic balloon has been used to perform dilation.

 Caustic substances (strong acids and alkalies), when
 swallowed, can burn the tongue, mouth, esophagus, and
 stomach. These burns may cause perforation (piercing) of
 the esophagus or stomach. Food and saliva leaking from a
 perforation cause severe, sometimes deadly infection
 within the chest (mediastinitis or empyema) or abdomen
 (peritonitis). Burns that do not perforate can result in
 scarring of the esophagus and stomach.

 
After the stenosis has been overcome with the dilation, a view of the Colonic interposition is seen. Industrial products are usually the most damaging because they are highly concentrated. However, some common household products, including drain and toilet bowl cleaners and some dishwasher detergents, contain damaging caustic substances, such as sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. Because caustic substances can cause as much damage returning up the esophagus as they did when swallowed, a person who has swallowed a caustic substance should not be made to vomit.
