[Endoscopic percutaneous placement of a guide thread for bouginage treatment of the esophagus following 3d degree chemical burn: a new method without laparotomy].
For successful treatment of third degree caustic burns of the esophagus, early bouginage and cortisone medication are mandatory. We use Rehbein bougies under guidance of a orogastric thread. To place this, laparotomy had been required so far. A new procedure for endoscopic gastrostomy is described to avoid the laparotomy. This method was performed in 7 children and one adult. There were no complications. The introduced procedure is recommended as a simple and safe technique, using endoscopy for thread placement as well as for diagnostic evaluation.
