Abstract
There was no significant different between groups regarding age, sex and residence; yet the percentage of caustic injury was high in rural area (80%).
Caustic ingestion continues to be a major health hazard rural and in developing countries as it commonly available for domestic use.
In this study, the hospital data and complications showed that, the hospital stay days was more in gastrostomy (from three to five days) than that of esophageal dilatation (one day).
Regarding the complication of gastrostomy, the incidence of the ventilation (12 %), these were higher in gastrostomy group.
On the other hand, the gastro-oesph reflux in esophageal dilatation is reached to (100 %), while, in gastrostomy of a lower level (60 %).
The incidence of nutritional edema in gastrostomy of a higher level (70 %), while, in esophageal dilatation it reached to (40 %).
Regarding dysphagia score, the children treated through the esophageal dilatation showed improved feeding particularly swallowing of either semi-solid or solid foods than that of colon bypass.
Our results on the GIT symptoms showed that the Nausea was statistically significant (60%) in gastrostomy patients; on the other hand the constipation was statistically significant (80%) in esophageal dilatation.
The Anthropometric measurements showed that, the height, body weight, BMI of the children after 6-month, improved with esophageal dilatation treatment than those of gastrostomy.
Meanwhile, our results on laboratory parameters in esophageal dilatation and gastrostomy showed that, Sodium, potassium, PO4, calcium, ALP, serum albumin, serum iron,, Hb, TIBC, HCT, MCV, MCH, WBCs, PLT levels were better with esophageal dilatation than with using of gastrostomy.
