Colonic Foreign Body Retrieval Using a Modified TAMIS Technique with Standard Instruments and Trocars

Colonic Foreign Body Retrieval Using a Modified TAMIS Technique with Standard Instruments and Trocars

Background. Reports of retained colorectal foreign bodies (CFBs) are no longer considered uncommon. We present a case where a retained CFB was retrieved using a modified TAMIS technique using standard instruments and trocars. Case Report. A 52-year-old man presented with a CFB. We report our techniq...

We present a case where a retained CFB was retrieved using a modified TAMIS technique using standard instruments and trocars. Case Report. A 52-year-old man presented with a CFB. We report our technique of extraction with standard laparoscopic instruments without specialized access platforms. Conclusions. This modified TAMIS technique is well suited for resource poor environments because it requires no specialized equipment, platforms, or additional skill sets compared to conventional laparoscopy.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/815616
