NCT ID NCT07649382
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new endoscopic method that uses two instruments at once to remove foreign bodies (like swallowed objects) stuck in the upper digestive tract. The technique is for cases where a single tool fails or the object is lodged in a narrow area. Researchers reviewed records of 10 patients who had this procedure to see how often it successfully removes the object without needing surgery.
