Feasibility and safety of a self-developed sleeve for the endoscopic removal of refractory foreign body incarceration.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of a novel self-designed sleeve for the endoscopic removal of a refractory incarcerated foreign body in the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT).

Methods

An interventional study was conducted between June and December 2022. A total of 60 patients who underwent an endoscopic removal of a refractory incarcerated foreign body from the UGIT were randomly allocated to the self-developed sleeve and the conventional transparent cap. The study evaluated and compared the operation time, successful removal rate, new injury length at the entrance of the esophagus, new injury length at the impaction site, visual field clarity, and postoperative complications between the two groups.

Results

The success rates of the two
