Abstract
Background: Metallic stent placing is the first choice in the
treatment of malign or benign strictures of the esophagus. Stent
migration is a well-known complication of this procedure. We
report a case of stent migration in which surgical laparoscopic
intervention was used to retrieve it.
Methods: An 85 years
old man with unsuccessfully endoscopic retrieval of a migrated
stent underwent laparoscopic gastrotomy for solution. The patient
recovered without incident.
Conclusion: This case illustrates
that laparoscopic technique can be an optional way to
retrieve migrated stents in selected patients.
