Surgical interventions for corrosive stricture of the esophagus are extremely difficult and technically challenging.

We performed a total esophagectomy, pharyngo- and gastrostomy, suture of the duodenal perforation but the postoperative period was challenging and despite our efforts, the patient died on the 50th postoperative day due to respiratory and renal failure.
