Improvising In Endoscopy: Endoscopic Removal Of Sharp Foreign Bodies In The Upper Gi Tract, Using A Handmade Protective Device
CASE REPORTS IN GASTROINTESTINAL MEDICINE(2020)
Abstract
Introduction.Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in large-volume endoscopic departments. Several techniques and devices have been described for the safe endoscopic removal of these objects. However, these devices may not be suitable in every clinical setting or-as in our case-they may not even be available.Case Presentation.We report the case of a 34-year-old patient, presenting with sharp foreign body ingestion. The foreign bodies were safely removed using a handmade protective hood due to lack of a commercial device. In our case, improvisation proved to be of great benefit for the patient as well as for the endoscopist.Discussion.Improvised interventions can be of special interest in the setting of insufficiently funded or equipped endoscopic departments.
