Endoscopic foreign body retrieval refers to the removal of ingested objects from the esophagus, stomach and duodenum by endoscopic techniques. It does not involve surgery, but rather encompasses a variety of techniques employed through the gastroscope for grasping foreign bodies, manipulating them, and removing them while protecting the esophagus and trachea.[1] It is of particular importance with children,[2] people with mental illness,[3] and prison inmates[4] as these groups have a high rate of foreign body ingestion.
Commonly swallowed objects include coins, buttons, batteries, and small bones (such as fish bones),[1] but can include more complex objects, such as eyeglasses,[5] spoons,[6] and toothbrushes[5] (see image).
