Abstract:Highlights
The authors present a surgical option for the management of esophageal caustic injury.
The surgery consists of a transhiatal esophagectomy with gastric pull-up, pyloric exclusion and Roux-en-Y gastroenterostomy.
The technique can be indicated when esophagectomy is necessary and there is pyloric stenosis associated.
