Aims:
Case describing a novel extraction of bezoar by using a combination of endoscopy and open procedure.
Methods:
A young girl presented with a confounding clinical picture of abdominal pain, not tolerating oral feeds on a background of being hypoalbuminemic and anemic. She had been evaluated at multiple instances in the past for similar complaints. On further evaluation this turned out to be secondary to a bezoar lodged in her stomach and small bowel. This had been causing her severe distress over a period of 6 months with significant weight loss.
Methods:
Extraction of the bezoar by gastroscopy was not possible and she was taken up for surgery. Intra-operatively, we describe a novel method of extraction of the bezoar by using laparoscopic instruments through the incision over the gastric wall and extraction of the bezoar.
Results:
A novel approach to an extraction of bezoar by a synergistic method using laparoscopic instruments aided by open procedure.
Conclusion:
An interesting clinical approach to bezoar extraction
