Abstract
The Reyes technique for the management of severe, acute corrosive injuries of the esophagus has been modified and successfully applied to two children and one adult whose cases are reported. None developed stricture and two were uncomplicated. Esophagomegaly, motility dysfunction, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and pneumonitis complicated the hospitalization of one child whose subsequent course has been asymptomatic. Until more experience can be recorded, widespread use is not yet recommended.Entities:
