Catch me if you can: Endoskopische Bergung einer Sicherheitsnadel aus dem tiefen Dünndarm

Abstract

Our case report describes the potential of removing foreign bodies from the deep small bowel by pulling them into the overtube of a double-balloon enteroscope. If the suspicion of foreign body impaction in the small bowel is made, it may be advisable to primarily choose a balloon enteroscopy system. Through this, quick and deep insertion can be combined with a safe removal of the foreign body.
