Abstract
Caustic esophageal strictures are complex strictures with high rates of recurrence and complications. Management of these strictures requires a multipronged approach including endoscopic dilation and complex surgeries. Even with these modalities, treatment of each patient has to be individualized because it requires high clinical discretion. We present a 38-year-old female woman who had required esophagostomy and total gastrectomy in the acute phase after caustic ingestion. The definitive surgical procedure was deferred because of cicatrization of the proximal esophageal remnant. We remodeled scarred esophagus using a novel technique, which facilitated definitive surgery.
