title: Corrosive acid gastric stricture: a plea for conservative surgery.
abstract: Acid ingestion is known to cause a corrosive stricture of the stomach. Subsequent metaplasia in the gastric mucosa has been noted and cases of malignant change shown to have occurred. Gastrectomy has, therefore, been advocated. A less radical approach of gastrojejunostomy with regular endoscopic follow-up is here recommended.
