An Improvised Method: Ingested Pin Extraction with Multiband Ligator Barrel

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Children presenting with ingestion of pins is a common presentation encountered at large-volume endoscopic departments, with potentially serious complications such as perforation. We report the use of a naked multiband ligator barrel to safely remove an ingested pin from the proximal jejunum, in a 15-year-old child. Following successful removal of the foreign body, endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum did not show any signs of mucosal damage, ulceration, bleeding, or perforation. Here, we describe a simple, safe, cost-effective, and innovative technique for the endoscopic removal of pins. Cite this article as: Dalai MK, Borkar V, Sathyamurthy A, Lad S, Ingle M.
