Abstract

This report concerns the removal of a dental bridge through a feeding gastrostomy orifice under direct endoscopic visualization. A 90-year-old bedridden female with a feeding gastrostomy tube, dislodged and swallowed her dental bridge during a coughing episode. At upper endoscopy the dental bridge was snared in the stomach but removed with a pair of Kelly clamps through the feeding gastrostomy orifice. The removal technique and a discussion of our management alternatives are presented.
