Foreign body removal is a critical medical procedure to safely extract objects accidentally ingested or lodged in the digestive tract. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a trusted gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert foreign body removal services using advanced endoscopic techniques to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Foreign bodies can enter the gastrointestinal tract through accidental swallowing, especially in children or elderly patients. Commonly ingested items include coins, food particles, bones, or small objects. If left untreated, these can cause obstruction, injury, or infection.
Endoscopic foreign body removal is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible endoscope to locate and carefully extract the object without the need for surgery.
Signs that may indicate the presence of a foreign body in the digestive tract include:
Difficulty swallowing or pain
Sensation of something stuck in the throat or esophagus
Chest or abdominal pain
Vomiting or gagging
Bleeding or irritation
If foreign bodies are not promptly removed, they can cause complications such as perforation, infection, or obstruction.
