    Abstract:
    Accidental corrosive ingestion by children can result in damage to the oesophagus and stomach. With progressive scarring and fibrosis luminal obstruction occurs. Gastric fibrosis typically results from acid ingestion and occurs in the antrum because of pooling of the corrosive agents at that site. The antral stricture presents with symptoms of progressive outlet obstruction that may take up to 3 years to become clinically apparent. Surgery is necessary to bypass this obstruction. We describe three patients in whom we have successfully utilised a Y-V advancement antro-pyloroplasty as corrective surgery for corrosive antral strictures. The procedures required little dissection and two could be done early in the evolution of the stricture. Antro-duodenal patency was maintained on follow-up.
