Endoscopic fragmentation or removement of gastric bezoar is the simplest, most cost-effective approach, while the traditional endoscopic device include foreign body forceps, polypectomy snare, laser lithotripsy, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. For bezoar < 3 cm, traditional snares are preferred. But for some giant or hard bezoars, traditional snares are too easily deformed to be used continuously and can be embedded in the bezoar causing direct damage to the stomach , Therefore, a handy and effective snare-like approach is needed, especially for elderly patients who have a high surgical risk.
