What is Foreign Body Removal?
Foreign body removal is a medical procedure used to safely extract objects that have been accidentally swallowed or inhaled and become lodged in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Common foreign bodies include coins, sharp objects, food particles, and small toys.
Why is Foreign Body Removal Needed?
Choking hazard: Foreign objects can block the airways, leading to difficulty breathing.
GI obstruction: Objects stuck in the stomach or intestines can cause pain, vomiting, and discomfort.
Potential complications: If not removed, foreign bodies can lead to infection, internal bleeding, or perforation of the digestive tract.
Minimally invasive: We use endoscopic techniques to remove foreign bodies with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
Safe and effective: Our specialists use advanced tools to ensure the safe extraction of foreign objects.
Immediate relief: The procedure provides immediate relief from symptoms like pain and difficulty swallowing.
Initial Consultation: If a foreign object is swallowed, we conduct diagnostic imaging (X-ray, CT scan) to locate the object.
Endoscopic Removal: A flexible endoscope is used to guide the removal of the foreign body. Specialized tools like forceps or baskets are used to safely extract the object.
Post-Procedure Care: Patients typically experience minimal recovery time and can resume normal activities soon after the procedure.
