Laparoscopic Treatment of Gastric Bezoar

چکیده
A seventeen-year-old female presented with a symptomatic abdominal mass that was diagnosed by barium meal and computed tomography to be a gastric bezoar. She underwent laparoscopic removal of the bezoar, through an anterior wall gastrostomy in an endobag, which was extracted piecemeal through a 4-cm upper midline incision. The technique is described with a review of a few previous laparoscopic-assisted cases.
