Effectiveness of a cap-assisted device in the endoscopic removal of food bolus obstruction from the esophagus

摘要

Background and Aim: The use of a transparent cap has been found to be effective for retrieval of an esophageal foreign body. However, data on the use of a cap in food bolus obstruction (FBO) are limited. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a cap-assisted technique compared with conventional techniques in removal of FBO.
