ABSTRACT

Introduction: Foreign bodies ingestion is common, mostly accidental, especial attention to psychiatrics and inmates, they swallow very different type of objects.10-20% need endoscopy and 1-10% need surgery. Objective: To present a successful case of gastric foreign bodies laparoscopic extraction. Case presentation: 18 years old man, schizophrenic, infected with HIV without good treatment attachment, six months before he was operated because he swallowed four electric batteries, presented with upper digestive bleeding. Endoscopy shows objects like pencils, pens and a toothbrush; extraction was attempted with a polypectomy snare but was unsuccessful especially two small tubes impacted in pylorus. We proposed laparoscopy, gastrotomy and foreign bodies extraction. Results: A lot of adherences than can be dissected and we can saw the anterior gastric wall where we opened stomach and the foreign bodies were extracted, a flexible endoscopy was carried out, gastrotomy was closed with a two layer intracorporeal suture, cavity was flushed and aspirated. Patient recovery was uneventful. Conclusions: First therapeutic options in patients with gastric foreign bodies is endoscopy, if it is unsuccessful, laparoscopy approach is feasible and safe.
