At Abhiman Gastro Superspeciality Hospital, Miraj, under the expertise of Dr. Abhiman Pawar, we offer endoscopic foreign body removal — a quick, minimally invasive procedure designed to safely extract swallowed objects that become lodged in the digestive tract.
Foreign body removal through endoscopy is performed when an object — such as food, bones, coins, batteries, or small toys — becomes trapped in the esophagus, stomach, or upper intestine. Using a flexible endoscope equipped with a tiny camera and specialized instruments, the doctor visualizes and gently removes the object without surgery, ensuring minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
This treatment is typically required when:
A swallowed object fails to pass naturally through the digestive system.
The item is sharp, large, or corrosive (e.g., batteries, blades).
There is difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or a feeling of blockage.
Imaging tests indicate a risk of perforation or obstruction.
Commonly swallowed objects include bones, toys, batteries, or utensils — especially in children, where ingestion accidents are most frequent.
The patient is given a mild sedative for comfort.
A thin, flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus.
The doctor visualizes the foreign body on a monitor and carefully removes it using endoscopic tools.
If the object can safely pass through the digestive tract, it may be pushed into the stomach instead of being extracted.
At Abhiman Gastro Superspeciality Hospital, we ensure safe, efficient, and compassionate care using state-of-the-art endoscopic technology. Dr. Abhiman Pawar’s experience in advanced gastroenterology and emergency endoscopy allows for swift diagnosis and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a comfortable recovery.
Trust Abhiman Gastro Superspeciality Hospital for precise, patient-focused care — where your safety and comfort come first.
