  • Title: Two-channel method for retrieval of gastric trichobezoar: report of a case.
    Author: Kanetaka K, Azuma T, Ito S, Matsuo S, Yamaguchi S, Shirono K, Kanematsu T.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2003 Feb; 38(2):e7. PubMed ID: 12596127.
    Abstract:
    Large gastric trichobezoars usually are difficult to remove gastroscopically without gradual fragmentation. Surgical retrieval of trichobezoars may be recommended, which requires laparotomy and gastrotomy. The authors report a case in which an 11-year-old girl with a trichobezoar underwent successful removal using gastroscopy with laparoscopically assisted fragmentation.
