The management of esophago-gastric necrosis due to caustics ingestion: Anastomotic reinforcement with Cyanoacrylate glue and damage control with Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy-A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe surgical treatment of a complete gastric necrosis due to caustic ingestion is extremely challenging and life threatening. In this emergency scenario, a first-time reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract is often dangerous for the patient because of the high risk of infections and anastomosis leakage. Literature lacks of clear indications for the management of this condition. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Male patient with history of major depression disorder was admitted to our Emergency Unit after the ingestion of muriatic acid. CT scan showed massive pneumo-peritoneum with esophago-gastric thickening. Free fluids in the abdominal cavity were detected. Intraoperative finding was a complete necrosis of the stomach and corrosion of the lower esophagus. DISCUSSION: In this case report we proposed a first approach with the drainage and lavage of the abdomen cavity. Then, an esophago-jejunum anastomosis reinforced by Cyanoacrylate glue was performed and a damage control with VAC therapy (Vacuum Assisted Closure) was carried out.
conclusionCyanoacrylate glue could be considered useful and efficient in the reinforcement of anastomosis even in emergency surgical procedures. Damage control using VAC allows to keep a good control of the surgery performed.
