Endoscopic removal of a fish bone from the stomach ⁦Endoscopy Journal⁩

@endoscopyjrnl Man, that was a big fear from when I was a kid. My parents would almost grind fish with the fork and knife to look for bones before allow me to eat. Till this day I take a lot of care when I eat fish because of that.

@endoscopyjrnl Especially more paranoid if I’m feeding children! I tend to do this and comb my fingers through it!

@endoscopyjrnl Good heavens, that's enormous! Thank goodness for all of you, who have the expertise and the instruments to be able to do things so fiddly with such good results.

@endoscopyjrnl Toothpick ➡️ wall abscess

@endoscopyjrnl Is there any way to protect the tissues during removal?

@endoscopyjrnl Overtube usage can prevent pharyngeal injury

@endoscopyjrnl A job well done. This is just gratifying to watch. I bet whoever that was retrieved from, will stay away from eating fish, ever again. 😄

@endoscopyjrnl I’ll definitely suggest the use of an overtube for the procedure

@endoscopyjrnl Any risk for the esophagus during removal ?
