Sixteen patients with gastric cicatrization due to ingestion of corrosive agents were treated over a 7 year period at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) Hospital, Pondicheny. Fifteen patients developed gastric outlet obstruction due to ingestion of corrosives, while another had midgas‐tric stenosis due to formalin intake. An asSociated oesophageal stricture was present in 62.5% of the cases. Partial gastrectomy was found to be the most satisfactory procedure and carried out in 60% of the cases. Pyloroplasty done in one patient was found inadequate within 1 year of surgery. Gastrojejunostomy carried out in two patients was asSociated with prolonged hospitalization due to malfunction of the anastomotic site.
