Abstract
Corrosive ingestion remains one of the most devastating problems in developing countries that cripples patient’s body, mind and soul depriving them from leading a normal social life and living with a scar on their emotions, psyche and charisma. Appropriate management in the acute phase of corrosive injury reduces tissue damage and further morbidity and mortality. The aim of this case discussion is to evoke a light of hope for those patients of corrosive injury and a guide to clinicians worldwide for further better management and sharing our experience of surgical management of a case of such corrosive injury of gastrointestinal tract.
