DEEPLY EMBEDDED ESOPHAGEAL FISHBONE REMOVED BY ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL DISSECTION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Endoscopic submucosal dissection was used to successfully remove a deeply embedded fishbone in the esophagus of a 50-year-old man. Foreign body ingestion, particularly sharp objects like fishbones, can lead to serious complications and sometimes require surgical intervention. In this case, after identification through CT and endoscopic ultrasound, the fishbone was carefully dissected and extracted using endoscopic techniques. A metal stent was placed to close the resulting defect. The patient recovered well post-surgery. This case emphasizes the importance of considering clinical history and appropriate imaging for diagnosing and treating foreign body ingestion to prevent further complications.
