Background. A burn of the gastrointestinal tract due to the ingestion of corrosive substances is one of the most common causes leading to the development of persistent pathological changes. Objective. To analyze a clinical case of laparoscopic gastroenteroanastomosis in a patient with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to accidental acid ingestion. Material and methods. The laparoscopic gastroenteroanastomosis was successfully performed on a patient with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to accidental acid ingestion in October, 2019 at Grodno University Hospital. During the postoperative period, the patient was followed up and diagnostic observation was conducted. The patient’s medical record was analyzed as well. Results. The surgery proceeded uneventfully and lasted for 3 hours. Enteral feeding was initiated on the 3rd day after the operation and was delivered via a feeding tube using liquid diet. The postoperative period elapsed without complications. The patient was discharged from the hospital after nutritional status compensation on the 12th day after the operation. Conclusions. Laparoscopic gastroenteroanastomosis is a minimally invasive, easily tolerated and effective operation, and can be considered a good alternative to other modern surgical approaches to the treatment of post-burn pyloric stenosis.
