Περίληψη:
Introduction.Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in large-volume
endoscopic departments. Several techniques and devices have been
described for the safe endoscopic removal of these objects. However,
these devices may not be suitable in every clinical setting or-as in our
case-they may not even be available.Case Presentation.We report the case
of a 34-year-old patient, presenting with sharp foreign body ingestion.
The foreign bodies were safely removed using a handmade protective hood
due to lack of a commercial device. In our case, improvisation proved to
be of great benefit for the patient as well as for the
endoscopist.Discussion.Improvised interventions can be of special
interest in the setting of insufficiently funded or equipped endoscopic
departments.
