Abstract
The flexible fiberoptic endoscope has not been employed consistently in the removal of foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract due to size limitations of the forceps and biopsy channel. The following report describes a technique for extracting large irregular objects from the upper-gastrointestinal tract, employing the polypectomy snare. It is a safe and reproducible procedure for the careful extraction of impacted objects.Entities:
