Intercolonic reposition for replacement of esophageal stricture due to corrosive ingestion

Donald Boy P Purba, Husin Thamrin, Titong Sugihartono.


Abstract
A 27-year-old woman presented with progressive dysphagia, vomiting, and 10 kg weight loss after intentional strong acid ingestion. Laboratory findings showed anemia and mild hypoalbuminemia. Thoracic CT revealed diffuse esophageal wall thickening with segmental narrowing to the esophagogastric junction. She underwent total esophagectomy with ileocolonic transposition, pyloroplasty, and appendectomy. Recurrent anastomotic strictures were managed with multiple sessions of endoscopic balloon dilation and intralesional triamcinolone injection. She achieved complete symptom resolution and gained approximately 10 kg. This case highlights the challenges of managing corrosive esophageal injury and underscores the need for multidisciplinary care and long-term follow-up.

Key words: Corrosive ingestion, esophageal stricture, colon interposition, balloon dilation, esophageal reconstruction.
