Cocaine-codom ingestion. Surgical treatment.

C A Suarez, A Arango, J L Lester.   

Abstract

We report one survivor and two deaths from cocaine toxicity. Cocaine, packaged in condoms, was deliberately ingested to avoid detection by customs agents. Because cocaine is a toxic drug, we recommend surgical removal of the ingested packages, as alternative methods of removal are unreliable and potentially dangerous.
