  • Title: [The role of endoscopy in managing esophageal lesions caused by caustic fluids].
    Author: Ossanna P, Di Matteo FM, Ghimenti A, Bifani F, Leombruni E, Picardi N.
    Journal: Ann Ital Chir; 1993; 64(3):287-93. PubMed ID: 8109816.
    Abstract:
    In the paper is described the chronological outline adopted from the authors about the endoscopic treatment in case of oesophageal caustications, both in the emergency and, respectively, after one week and after one month. It is emphasized the importance of an endoscopic recognition within 6/12 hours after the caustic ingestion, to prevent the immediate acute complications, the later acute complications and the scarring evolutions of the healing. Important parameter for a clinical evaluation is represented by the volontariety of ingestion to which is connected the quantity of ingested caustic and than the extension of oesophageal lesions.
