Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the feasibility of endoscopic retrieval of an ingested nail in a toddler is demonstrated. The objectives are to safely remove the foreign body and understand the angle of approach to make the retrieval easier. Common causes of foreign body ingestion in children are listed, along with the most common areas where foreign bodies can be found. A case of a 13-month-old toddler swallowing a nail is presented, and attempts to remove it are described. The video shows various techniques used to remove the nail, including using a pediatric gastroscope and forceps. After careful examination and adjustments, the nail is successfully removed. Fluoroscopy images are used to ensure there are no leaks, and precautions and coordination with anesthesia and ENT are emphasized.
