Factors Affecting the Prevalence of Gastro-oesophageal Reflux in Childhood Corrosive Oesophageal Strictures

Abstract: Oesophageal stricture is the most common complication of corrosive ingestion in childhood and standard dilatation treatment has a success rate of approximately 50-70% (1-3). Clinical studies conducted on the achievement of dilatation treatment emphasise the effects of the following parameters: start of dilatation treatment, stricture length, largest dilatator diameter used in the dilatation program and development of any perforations during the dilatation process (4). With the exception of corrosive substance … Show more

“…Although regarded as one of the main determinants of outcome, the length of the stricture caused by corrosive ingestion has not been defined uniformly in published studies. A long stricture was defined as a stricture longer than 2 cm,[ 4 ] 3 cm,[ 13 ] 4 cm,[ 17 ] or 5 cm[ 1 ] in different studies. A few authors used vertebral height as a correlation to stricture length and considered two vertebral body height as the cut-off to define a long stricture.…”

“…Scar strictures that lead to obstruction of the esophagus do not tend to decrease lately, but on the contrary, the number of such patients is increasing, which is caused by the use of a large range of chemicals in human life [4,8,10,24,27,30]. The results of treatment of scarring strictures depend on the degree of stenosis.…”
