The work-up of these patients is poorly defined and no clear therapeutic guidelines are available.</p></sec><sec><title>Purpose of the study</title><p>The aim of this study was to provide an evidence-based international consensus on primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of this life-threatening and potentially disabling condition.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>An extensive literature search was performed by an international panel of experts under the auspices of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The level of evidence of the screened publications was graded using the Oxford 2011 criteria. The level of evidence of the literature and the main topics regarding foregut caustic injuries were discussed during a dedicated meeting in Milan, Italy (April 2015), and during the 3rd Annual Congress of the World Society of Emergency Surgery in Jerusalem, Israel (July 2015).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>One-hundred-forty-seven full papers which addressed the relevant clinical questions of the research were admitted to the consensus conference. There was an unanimous consensus on the fact that the current literature on foregut caustic injuries lacks homogeneous classification systems and prospective methodology. Moreover, the non-standardized definition of technical and clinical success precludes any accurate comparison of therapeutic modalities. Key recommendations and algorithms based on expert opinions, retrospective studies and literature reviews were proposed and approved during the final consensus conference. The clinical practice guidelines resulting from the consensus conference were approved by the WSES council.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>The recommendations emerging from this consensus conference, although based on a low level of evidence, have important clinical implications. A world registry of foregut caustic injuries could be useful to collect a homogeneous data-base for prospective clinical studies that may help improving the current clinical practice guidelines.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Sarfati, E" uniqKey="Sarfati E">E Sarfati</name></author><author><name

Although the mechanism, the severity, and the timing of the injury may vary, all these substances cause damage to living tissue on contact. Accidental or intentional ingestion of corrosive substances cause life-threatening injuries of the upper digestive tract. The degree of injury is related to the concentration, amount, viscosity, and duration of exposure to the caustic agent. The large majority of caustic agents are liquids. Strong acids and alkali are readily available as household cleaners. Lye is a generic term for the alkali used to make soap, either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. Acids cause coagulation necrosis, whereas alkali combine with tissue proteins and cause liquefaction necrosis which penetrates deep into tissues. Concentrated alkali ingestion may lead to more serious injury and complications by penetrating tissues and leading to full-thickness damage of the esophageal/gastric wall. Liquid household bleach, although often reported, does rarely cause severe injuries. Children under the age of 5 years account for more than 80 % of accidental caustic ingestion, whereas adult injuries are more often intentional and suicidal [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>].</p><p>Foregut caustic ingestion is certainly an under-reported public health issue. Primary prevention of these dramatic injuries was initiated in the United States by Chevalier Jackson who began a campaign that led to the Federal Caustic Act (1927) which mandated proper labeling of these harmful compounds. Subsequent acts have enforced proper labeling, antidote instructions, concentration restrictions, and child-resistant packaging. The effects of these changes have decreased but not eliminated the incidence and severity of caustic ingestions in the United States [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. Nowadays, most information on foregut caustic injuries comes from countries where legislation is less restrictive or even absent, such as Africa, Turkey, India, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and France [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>Caustic ingestion can result in a number of injuries ranging in severity from mild oral burns to minimal mucosal erythema or transmural necrosis of the esophagus and stomach with visceral perforation. Emergency surgery is indicated for hemorrhage, free perforation, mediastinitis or peritonitis. Full thickness esophagogastric necrosis is a severe form of injury associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It may occur due to ingestion of a large amount or highly concentrated corrosive substance. The injury may extend and involve adjacent viscera such as the duodenum, small intestine, colon, pancreas, and gallbladder. Complications such as hemorrhage, perforation, aorto-enteric fistula, or gastro-colic fistula may occur in patients surviving the initial event during the first 2–3 weeks after ingestion. Patients who have survived severe caustic injury of the foregut are at high risk of luminal strictures. After recovery from the initial injury, collagen deposition and fibrosis continue for months and scar retraction results in esophageal shortening and stricture. The incidence of esophageal stricture following grade IIB and grade III esophageal burns is in the range of 50–80 % [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Concomitant gastric outlet obstruction occurs in up to 30 % of patients with esophageal stricture [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. In the long term, development of pharyngeal, esophageal, or gastric strictures may compromise nutritional outcome. Interestingly, the risk of squamous-cell cancer of the damaged esophagus is estimated to be 1000 times higher than that of the general population, and the latent period for the malignant change is 15–40 years [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>].</p><p>Currently, in most referral centers therapeutic algorithms for the management of patients with caustic injuries rely on the findings of upper digestive endoscopy. Despite the use of different endoscopic classification systems, therapeutic approaches are similar and include conservative management of patients with mild injuries, while patients with severe injuries undergo emergency surgical exploration. Although there are studies describing the short and long-term outcomes of reconstruction for established caustic strictures of the esophagus, there is limited literature on the early and long term outcomes of patients managed in an emergency setting for corrosive induced acute esophagogastric and/or adjacent organ necrosis.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><p>Two independent MEDLINE and EMBASE searches were performed to identify relevant papers published between 1990 and 2015. The following medical subject headings terms were used in the searches: caustic ingestion, caustic lesions, corrosive injuries, esophagus, stomach, esophageal dilatation, gastric outlet obstruction. The search terms were identified in the title, abstract, or medical subject heading. Initially, 2143 abstracts of the retrieved studies were reviewed and screened for exclusion criteria. At the end of the search, 1113 abstracts that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected. Finally, 147 full papers which addressed the relevant clinical questions of the research were admitted to the consensus conference. The level of evidence for each recommendation statement was assigned by using the grading system proposed by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. A preliminary manuscript was prepared by an international panel of 12 experts including anesthesiologists, endoscopists, surgeons, and toxicologists. The key recommendations and algorithms were discussed at a dedicated meeting held in Milan in April 2015, and at the 3rd Congress of the World Society of Emergency Surgery held in Jerusalem in July 2015. Finally, evidence based guidelines for the management of foregut caustic injuries were developed to outline clinical recommendations.</p><sec id="Sec3"><title>Recommendations</title><sec id="Sec4"><title>Initial therapeutic approach [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">57</xref>]</title><sec id="FPar1"><title>Pre-hospital management</title><p><list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>Establish the diagnosis of caustic agent ingestion.

(Level 5)</p></list-item><list-item><p>Endoscopy is the cornerstone of management of caustic injuries. Endoscopy is usually performed 3 to 6 h after ingestion, and injuries are graded according to the Zargar classification. Patients with severe (grade 3b) esophagogastric injuries are considered for surgery while patients with low grade injuries (≤ grade 3a) are offered non-operative treatment. Endoscopy grading can also predict the risk to develop an esophageal stricture during follow-up. Inability of endoscopy to predict accurately the depth of intramural necrosis may result in either futile surgery, with negative effects on survival, digestive function and management costs, or in patient death due to inappropriate non operative treatment. Moreover, emergency endoscopy is futile in up to 30 % of patients who do not have injuries of the upper digestive tract following ingestion of bleach or corrosive agents other than strong acids or alkali.

The use of CT is helpful in guiding indications for esophagectomy in patients with grade 3b caustic injury (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). In a recent study CT did better than endoscopy in selecting patients for surgery or non-operative treatment, suggesting that CT can replace endoscopy in the management of caustic injuries. CT criteria of transmural esophageal necrosis include esophageal-wall blurring and periesophageal-fat blurring on unenhanced images, and absence of post-contrast esophageal-wall enhancement; transmural necrosis of the stomach was defined as the absence of post-contrast gastric-wall enhancement.

In addition, the “remodeling time”, i.e. the time to stricture stabilization ranges between 6 months to 3 years. As a consequence, the reported success rate of dilatation is lower than for other benign esophageal strictures. The optimum time for dilatation is after healing of the acute injury, usually in the 3rd week. Late management is usually associated with marked esophageal wall fibrosis and collagen deposition, which requires more endoscopic sessions for adequate dilatation. This is a crucial issue in developing countries, where late presentations are more than 50 %.

A prospective randomized study has shown no clear advantage of each method in peptic esophageal strictures.

Although three or four sessions may provide durable results, the number of dilatation required is unpredictable and the endoscopic treatment may continue for years. A cut-off value for stopping dilatations is not clear and is influenced by patient, physician and geographic factors. In adult studies, the maximal esophageal wall thickness at CT scan and the involvement of muscolaris propria at endoscopic ultrasound were found to be significant predictors of stricture development, more difficult dilatations, and recurrent stricture. Gastroesophageal reflux and alterations in esophageal motility due to esophageal wall fibrosis can contribute to persistent dysphagia, in spite of apparently successful dilatations.

Biodegradable (BD) stents begin to degrade after 4–5 weeks and to dissolve within 2–3 months. Although the migration rate is reduced owing to the uncovered design, BD stents are only temporarily effective and sequential stenting has been suggested to avoid serial dilations. Moreover, hyperplastic tissue reactions have emerged as a significant problem. A recent systematic review of patients with a benign esophageal stricture (25 % caustic) treated by SEPS showed that only 52 % of the patients were dysphagia-free after a median follow-up of 13 months. A recent publication evaluated the results of stenting in benign strictures from twelve prospective studies. The stent was successfully placed in 98.7 %, but the overall clinical success rate was 24.2 %.

Published data lack homogeneous classification systems and prospective methodology, the majority of papers being retrospective case reports, case series, or literature reviews. Moreover, the non-standardized definition of technical and clinical success precludes any accurate comparison of therapeutic modalities. There has been only one negative controlled trial assessing the effect of steroids to prevent esophageal stricture after caustic ingestion in children [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR157">157</xref>]. For all the above reasons, the extrapolated recommendations are mainly based on expert opinions, retrospective studies, and literature reviews with a low level of evidence.</p><p>Despite all these limitations, the value of this consensus conferences was to gather a panel of recognized experts and over 200 physicians attending the two meetings. Among the debated issues, an unanimous consensus has emerged on the fact that use of CT scan in the initial patient staging may indeed represent a true change of paradigm. The new diagnostic algorithm may allow to avoid endoscopy in selected patients, to increase the rate of esophageal preservation, and it could translate into a better long-term patients outcome and quality of life. Interestingly, a previous WSES survey has found that 80 % of the responders to a questionnaire treat fewer than ten cases of caustic ingestion per year [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR158">158</xref>], indicating the utility to apply and share clinical practice guidelines to improve patients’ care.</p><p>Caustic ingestion continues to be a complex clinical problem and a burden for the healthcare systems worldwide. Emergency surgery and subsequent alimentary tract reconstruction are a formidable challenge in these patients. On the light of the consensus that has emerged among experts in Milan and Jerusalem, the World Society of Emergency Surgery will be running a World Registry of foregut caustic injuries (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.clinicalregisters.org/">www.clinicalregisters.org</ext-link>). This could be the first step toward a more standardized data collection and the implementation of prospective clinical studies.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn><p><bold>Competing interests</bold></p><p>The authors declare that they have no competing interests.</p></fn><fn><p><bold>Authors’ contribution</bold></p><p>LB MC and OS designed the guidelines.
