A dental bridge impacted in the esophagus of a 43-year-old man was successfully removed using endoscopy, without any further complications. It is of utmost importance that the medical staff carefully assess the patient's dental condition, provide clear documentation, and notify the patient appropriately to prevent dental prosthesis-related complications and claims. Anesthesiologists also need to be more cautious in the perioperative period, even after extubation, because this complication may not be completely avoidable.

“…Most clinical trials comparing RE and FE and have suggested that FB extraction rates of the 2 methods are similar [ 16 , 17 ]. Some reports have recommended that FE be the “first line” approach because it does not require general anesthesia, has shorter operation time, and permits biopsy of the esophageal mucosa [ 18 ].…”

Therapeutic Effect of Esophageal Foreign Body Extraction Management: Flexible versus Rigid Endoscopy in 216 Adults of Beijing

et al. 2014

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and complications of rigid endoscopy (RE) and flexible endoscopy (FE) for the extraction of esophageal foreign bodies (FB) in adults.Material/MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 216 adult patients with esophageal FB impaction treated at Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China, between January 2008 and December 2012.ResultsThe success rate of FB extraction was 100% (142/142) in patients treated with RE compared to 97.3% (72/74) in those treated with FE (P=0.045). The total incidence of complications in RE-treated patients was lower than that in FE-treated patients (28.2% vs. 45.9%, P=0.009), but the perforation rate was higher (5.6% vs. 1.4%, P=0.135). The incidences of total complications and perforation were associated with the duration of FB impaction in patients who underwent RE (both P<0.05) but not in patients who underwent FE. RE was more frequently used in extraction of FBs located in the upper esophagus (88.7%, 126/142) compared to FE (60.8%, 45/74) (P<0.05). The size of extracted FB was significantly larger in patients treated with FE compared to those treated with RE (P<0.05).ConclusionsBoth RE and FE were effective in the extraction of esophageal FB. However, the perforation rate and the need for general anesthesia were higher in RE-associated extraction. FE may be the preferred endoscopic treatment for the extraction of esophageal FB, except possibly for those impacted in the upper esophagus. FB extraction may produce better outcomes if endoscopy is employed early.

“…1 Endoscopes consist of a flexible tube with diameters ranging from 11 to 30 mm. In addition, a working channel is provided, usually with a diameter in the range of 2.2 to 3.2 mm through which accessories and instruments can be inserted, and in some instances tissue extracted (Wang and Chen 2013). The vision system is fundamental for diagnosis, e.g.…”

Endoscopes are tubular devices used during laparoscopic procedures to examine the interior of the patient's body for diagnosis purposes. During the procedure, small tools called biopsy micro forceps can be inserted through the endoscope to collect several living tissue samples for pathologic analysis. Even if the market proposes a large variety of micro forceps, it is not able to accomplish all the medical doctor requirements. For this reason, this article aims to identify and compare the characteristics of the products available on the market so to identify their lacks and improvement areas and to propose a new device able to respond to the physicians' requests. In particular, the most critical aspects of the actual devices were identified by analysing patents and products and organising meetings with gastroenterologists and pathologists. According to the obtained results, a new concept of endoscope is presented. In particular, its design allows to reduce the surgery time, to increase the number and the quality of collected tissue samples and, at the same time, to guarantee good sample quality and to reduce the overall cost of the device and the procedure.
