“…Multiple endoscopic removal techniques have been described in the literature, including pulling the proximal lasso, distal-toproximal invagination of the stent, and the use of an overtube, retrieval hoods, and retrieval hooks. 7,8,53,54 We used 2 removal techniques: the stent inversion technique for a partially covered SEMS and stent retrieval by pulling the proximal edge or lasso of the stent with retrieval forceps in a fully covered SEMS. No firm conclusions can be drawn regarding the most advantageous removal technique or the optimal stent design.…”

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract are common. Mostly they are swallowed accidentally by children but also by adults. When round and slippery, foreign bodies cause a technical problem for removal. After several days in the stomach they are covered with mucus and extraction becomes even harder. There are various devices designed for use through the flexible endoscope for grasping foreign bodies but due to the great variety of objects, one may face a real problem while trying to remove them. We faced a challenge in a woman who underwent vertical band gastroplasty and was obstructed by a round and slippery hazelnut. We managed to remove the nut using a simple homemade device. This device is easy to make, cheap, and simple to use and maybe useful for various foreign bodies.

“…Direct visualization by gastroscopy remains an important method in the diagnosis of esophageal foreign bodies. Many therapeutic gastroscopic manoeuvres are used to disimpact the esophagus (7). We suggest that flexible gastroscopy is contraindicated in a case of established esophageal perforation.…”

Foreign bodies in the esophagus are uncommon causes of esophageal perforation. Many nonperforating cases are successfully managed by flexible gastroscopy. However, complicated foreign bodies such as those that result in esophageal perforation and vascular injury are best managed surgically. Gastroscopy remains the primary method of diagnosis. A case of a 59-year-old woman who developed retrosternal and intrascapular pain, odynophagia and hematemesis after eating fish is reported. Flexible gastroscopy showed arterial bleeding from the midthoracic esophagus. Computed tomography scan localized a 3 cm fish bone perforating the esophagus with surrounding hematoma. An aortogram did not reveal an actively bleeding aortoesophageal fistula. The fish bone was surgically removed and the patient recovered with no postoperative complications. This case illustrates the importance of early consideration for surgical intervention when confronted with a brisk arterial bleed from the esophagus with suggestive history of foreign body ingestion.
