Abstract

A 38-year-old woman was treated for extensive corrosive injury of the stomach and duodenum following ingestion of liquid lye. Nine days following admission she developed perforation and bleeding from the stomach and duodenum. At operation the entire stomach and a large part of the duodenum were removed. Reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract was accomplished by a staged procedure. Principles in management of extensive corrosive injury of the stomach and duodenum are discussed.
