Laparoscopic transhiatal esophago-gastrectomy after corrosive injury

Abstract: Esophago-gastric necrosis is a surgical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. We report a laparoscopic transhiatal esophago-gastrectomy performed on a 43-year-old male, presenting two hours after hydrochloric acid ingestion. A gastroscopy showed several oral mucosal ulcers, a significant edema of the pharynx and larynx, a necrosis of the middle and lower esophagus and of the gastric fundus and antrum. A conservative strategy with intensive care observation was initially followed. After a chan… Show more

“…The decision to perform an emergency operation after corrosive ingestion is a life-changing event for the patient; in a recent report, the standard mortality ratio of patients operated for caustic necrosis was 21.5 when compared to the general population [45]. Laparotomy remains the standard approach in the emergency setting although successful laparoscopic management has been reported [61, 62]. All obvious transmural necrotic injuries should be resected during the initial procedure; reoperation should be undertaken promptly if ongoing necrosis is suspected [63].…”

“…В приоритет все чаще ставятся малоинвазивные операции, которые позволяют при помощи видеоэндоскопической техники с меньшими рисками выполнять многие стандартные оперативные вмешательства [17,18,19]. Преимущества этого направления заключаются в следующем: операционная рана имеет меньшие размеры, что делает менее выраженным послеоперационный рубец; лапароскоп обладает большой приближающей способностью, что улучшает оптические возможности при выполнении хирургических манипуляций; послеоперационный период в отношении остаточных болевых ощущений -менее отягощенный; моторика кишечника не нарушается, или нарушается, но с минимальными проявлениями дискомфорта; уменьшение периода пребывания пациента в стационаре, а также более ускоренные темпы трудовой и социальной реабилитации; низкий коэффициент встречаемости ранних и поздних постоперационных осложнений; параметры иммунитета затрагиваются в меньшей степени [20].…”

“…3,4 Visceral involvement is rare, more so for the stomach, since the organ has a robust blood supply. Although other causes of gastric necrosis/ gangrene including volvulus, 5 diaphragmatic hernia, 6 acute necrotizing gastritis, 7 caustic ingestion, 8 and acute pancreatitis 9 have been infrequently reported, gangrene of stomach due to APS is not known. This report describes two cases of gastric gangrene with primary APS of which one patient could be salvaged while the other succumbed to respiratory distress syndrome in the postoperative period.…”
