ABSTRACT
Gastric surgeries may predispose patients to the formation of gastric phytobezoars. Cola-lysis through nasogastric lavage, endosopic infusion and/or the oral intake of cola are recently introduced techniques for the dissolution of phytobezoars. However, their complications have rarely been reported. Herein, we report a 56-year-old woman, who had previously undergone partial gastrectomy, severe intestinal obstruction due to the migration of a phytobezoar during cola-lysis and was successfully managed with surgical intervention.
