Endoscopic foreign body removal is what it sounds like ?
Endoscopic foreign body removal is a minimally invasive treatment used to remove things that have been lodged in the digestive track after being ingested. (Emergency medical assistance is necessary if an item becomes trapped in the airway and obstructs breathing.)
A person who has swallowed a foreign item may have throat discomfort and trouble swallowing. To remove the item, doctors usually perform an upper endoscopy, also known as an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
The doctor checks the lining of the digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and upper section of the small intestine, during the EGD to look for damage.
Why would I require endoscopic foreign body removal?
If you swallow an object such as a toy, a big pill, a battery, or a large piece of food, you may require endoscopic foreign body removal. These things frequently travel through the digestive tract on their own, but they can also become lodged.
Foreign items ingested can cause a blockage, ulceration (sores), or a rip or hole in the digestive system's lining.
Although ingested items can occur at any age, they are more common in children, particularly newborns. Items often swallowed include:
- Food containing animal or fish bones
- Batteries
- Pencils or pens
- Shaver blades
- Utensils
An X-ray may be recommended by doctors to locate the position of the ingested item. Items like bones or medications may not be seen on an X-ray. In rare situations, doctors may use a CT scan to find the item.
The following actions will be determined once the item has been recognized and discovered by physicians. If the obstruction is caused by food, physicians may elect to force it into the stomach.
Typically, people can digest their food, which then passes through the digestive tract on its own.
The following foreign items must be removed:
- Batteries, particularly disc batteries that might degrade when exposed to stomach acid, can become lodged in the oesophagus.
- Objects measuring more than 6 cm (about 2.5 inches)
- Multiple magnets that can attract each other in different parts of the intestines, causing a rip
- Bones and other pointed or pointy items.
How should I get ready for endoscopic foreign body removal?
- Because this treatment is often used in an urgent or emergency circumstance, no special preparation is required.
- If at all feasible, please inform the care team.
- If you know what the foreign item is, please tell me.
- Whether you have previously experienced food or other foreign body blockages
What are the dangers associated with endoscopic foreign body removal?
Although an EGD for object removal is safe and effective, any surgery has the potential of consequences. The greatest danger is a rip in the oesophagus caused by removing an object or pushing it into the stomach.
In rare circumstances, surgery may be required to remove an item that cannot be removed by EGD.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis is frequently obvious from the patient's history. The patient may complain of an unexpected onset of dysphagia during eating, which is frequently accompanied by chest discomfort or odynophagia and an inability to manage secretions. When children are unable to provide a history, a sudden reluctance to eat, drooling, or respiratory symptoms such as coughing or wheezing as a result of aspiration should alert the physician to the possibility of foreign body ingestion. A thorough physical examination should be performed to check for evidence of perforation, such as subcutaneous emphysema or peritoneal abnormalities. Drooling indicates total esophageal blockage.
Plain radiography may reveal the foreign body; subcutaneous air, pneumomediastinum, or pleural effusion imply perforation. Barium studies have a limited yield as well; gastrografin is not indicated in the blocked oesophagus since it is toxic.is hypertonic and, if inhaled, can cause pulmonary edema[14]. CT scanning outperforms plain radiography in detecting foreign entities in 70% to 100% of patients[17-19].
When there is respiratory distress, airway compromise, or full blockage is feared due to a patient's inability to handle internal secretions, an urgent endoscopy is needed. Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment removal might be carried out concurrently.
