Evaluation of Diagnosis and Treatment Methods in Corrosive Esophagitis: Analysis of a 26-Year Experience-Based Algorithm

This study aims to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment methods for corrosive esophagitis based on 26 years of clinical experience. It will retrospectively analyze patient records to identify patterns in clinical outcomes, complications, and the effectiveness of treatment strategies. The study focuses on optimizing patient care by proposing a diagnosis and treatment algorithm that can guide future clinical practices. Data will be collected from hospital archives and electronic health records, covering cases of corrosive esophagitis managed at Ondokuz Mayıs University between 1998 and 2024.
