Foreign Body Removal is an endoscopic procedure used to locate and remove objects that have been accidentally swallowed or inserted into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These objects can include food items, coins, buttons, toys, or other materials that may become lodged in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.
Using a flexible endoscope, doctors can safely identify and extract the foreign object without the need for invasive surgery.
