Foreign Body Removal – Safe & Swift Endoscopic Intervention
At Vedanta Superspeciality Center, we provide prompt and expert Foreign Body Removal using advanced endoscopic techniques. Whether it’s a swallowed coin, bone, denture, food bolus, or accidentally ingested object, our team ensures safe removal without the need for surgery.
Foreign body ingestion is common in children, elderly individuals, and patients with swallowing disorders. In some cases, these objects can become lodged in the esophagus or stomach, posing a risk of bleeding, infection, or obstruction. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to avoid complications.
Commonly Removed Foreign Bodies:
- Coins, buttons, and small toys (children)
- Fish bones or meat boluses
- Dentures or dental appliances
- Needles, pins, or sharp metallic objects
- Medicinal tablet packs (blister strips)
How is the Procedure Performed?
Using a high-definition flexible endoscope, our gastroenterologists access the digestive tract through the mouth. With specialized retrieval tools like forceps, snares, or baskets, the foreign object is carefully grasped and removed. The procedure is usually done under mild sedation and requires no external incisions.
