MAGNETIC BEAD EMBEDDED IN THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY SUCCESSFULLY RETRIEVED BY ENDOSCOPY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Li, from Guangdong Province People's Hospital, presents a case where a two-year-old boy, who experienced appetite loss and coughing, had a bead-like shadow found in his abdomen. Eleven magnetic beads were initially removed via gastroscopy, but one remained. At Dr. Li's hospital, endoscopic ultrasound located the bead outside the gastric wall. A dual knife marked the scar, and a homemade guidance device helped locate and remove the bead. The wound was sealed with titanium clips, showing no perforation. This innovative endoscopic approach, being minimally invasive, successfully retrieved the embedded bead in an infant without complications.
