Standard treatments include endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy with a polypectomy snare and Coca-Cola dissolution therapy or a combination of both approaches.

Article Synopsis
- Small bowel bezoar obstruction (SBBO) is a rare condition where hard fecal masses block the small intestine, often seen in elderly or bedridden patients and can be hard to diagnose due to similar symptoms with other types of obstructions.
- A case study of a 49-year-old male with diabetes who consumed persimmons showed SBBO caused by a phytobezoar, diagnosed through imaging and treated with a non-surgical method involving endoscopic fragmenting and paraffin oil.
- The effective treatment strategy highlighted includes using double balloon enteroscopy and sequential laxative therapy, demonstrating the potential for non-surgical management of this condition.
