Caustic ingestion may cause severe necrosis of the upper digestive tract. Of 520 patients admitted in our department for caustic ingestion, 29 (5.5%) underwent emergency esophagogastrectomy because of transmural necrosis. We used a stripping procedure, which was performed through a cervicotomy and a laparotomy. This method allowed 18 patients (62%) to survive. Thus it appears to be a safer technique than open thoracic esophagectomy, which we used in our earlier experience.
