ABSTRACT
Most of swallowed foreign bodies pass spontaneously. However, sharp objects are usually lodged in the proximal esophagus and cause aspiration, bleeding, obstruction, and perforation. Therefore, prompt retrieval of lodged foreign bodies are necessary. The safe extraction of sharp foreign bodies using endoscopic technique is difficult because sharp objects carry a significant risk of mucosal injury and perforation. Endoscopic techniques for retrieval of foreign body include methods using protector hood and overtube. The former is not available, the later is uncomfortable and its diameter is the limiting factor. Method using a latex glove is available, comfortable, and its diameter is not limited. The thickness of the glove is thinner than protector hood, but we think that a latex glove would seem to be a effective alternative. We report a case in which a sharp foreign body was endoscopically removed using a latex glove without complication.
