Background: Foreign body ingestion is common, especially in the pediatric population. Plans for retrieval should be tailored to the specific esophageal foreign bodies.
Case Presentation: We present a difficult to retrieve esophageal foreign body in a 3-year-old girl who ingested a 2 cm glass pebble. Intraoperatively, attempts using conventional optical forceps and retrieval baskets were unsuccessful due to the size and smooth texture of the object. A novel strategy using double Fogarty embolectomy balloon catheters for retrieval of blunt esophageal foreign bodies was devised and described.
Conclusion: The double fogarty retrieval technique described appeared to be safe and efficacious, allowing for extraction of large esophageal foreign bodies under direct visualization.

Ingested foreign bodies, although fairly common among children, can present in individuals of all age. Most common risk factors for such cases in adults include psychiatric illness, alcohol abuse and ill-fitting dentures. Most of the ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract but intervention maybe required in case of impaction, obstruction or perforation.

Introduction And Importance: Postoperative dysphagia following anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) for cervical disc herniation is still poorly understood. Dysphagia after anterior spinal cervical approach is mild and transient. Here, the authors present a rare case suffering with severe progressive dysphagia for over 1 year after 20 years of ACDF due to expulsed bone cement abutting the esophagus which was successfully removed after reoperation.
