In today's era of laparoscopic surgery, removal of giant gastric trichobezoar laparoscopically has become a common parlance. However, removal of gastroduodenal bezoar laparoscopically en masse is extremely rare. We present a case of 15-yearold female with gastroduodenal bezoar, which was removed laparoscopically without any complications, stressing on the fact that adequate preoperative evaluation to know the extent of bezoar and good laparoscopic technique to prevent it from breaking intraoperatively are necessary for a good outcome.
