Article Synopsis
- Esophageal foreign body impaction (FBI) is a gastrointestinal emergency that often requires urgent treatment, and this study compares cap-assisted endoscopic techniques to conventional methods for removal.
- A total of seven studies involving 1,407 patients showed that the cap-assisted technique has a significantly higher technical success and en bloc retrieval rates, along with fewer adverse events compared to conventional methods.
- The findings suggest that the cap-assisted technique is both more effective and safer, but further research with larger randomized trials is necessary to validate these results.
