A novel technique uses nasendoscopy to remove fishbone foreign bodies from the pharynx. This minimally invasive approach offers a safe and effective solution for this common ear, nose, and throat emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Pharyngeal foreign body ingestion, particularly fishbones, is a frequent otolaryngologic emergency.
  • Traditional removal methods can be invasive and carry risks.

Observation:

  • Nasendoscopy provides direct visualization of the pharyngeal structures.
  • A suction catheter can be advanced nasally under direct endoscopic guidance.

Findings:

  • A novel technique for pharyngeal fishbone removal using nasendoscopic guidance is described.
  • The fishbone was successfully retrieved using a suction catheter passed through the nasal cavity.

Implications:

  • This approach offers a less invasive alternative for pharyngeal foreign body removal.
