Multidimensional long-term outcomes after pediatric esophageal replacement following caustic injuries: a comparative study of two techniques
Both colonic and gastric esophageal replacements provide satisfactory long-term outcomes and quality of life after pediatric caustic injury. Although gastrointestinal and functional results were comparable, psychosocial quality of life domains showed differences. Persistent dietary adaptations underline the necessity for tailored, multidisciplinary and culturally sensitive follow-up.
