A hybrid endolaparoscopic therapy for the treatment of foreign bodies in the stomach with esophageal perforation

摘要

Recently, the combination of a laparoscopic and endoscopic approach for surgical treatment has increased interest in minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery has many advantages over traditional open procedures, and the management of foreign body ingestion is an interesting field in which the combination approach can be used. Herein, we describe the combined approach (laparoscopic and endoscopic) for removal of foreign bodies with the presence of esophageal perforation.
