Data were reviewed and finalized in 2024. Among 277 patients, 101 adults had acute esophageal injuries classified by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Forty-seven developed esophageal strictures, of whom 34 did not respond to endoscopic dilation and required surgical reconstruction. Of these, 19 underwent esophagogastroplasty and 15 underwent esophagocoloplasty due to significant gastric injuries (atrophy, severe adhesions, or previous gastrostomy).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Esophagogastroplasty was performed in 55.9% and esophagocoloplasty in 44.1% of surgical cases. The postoperative mortality rate was 0% in the esophagogastroplasty group and 20% (3\/15) in the esophagocoloplasty group.
