Core Tip	This case report presents the treatment of an intestinal obstruction using a conservative alternative to surgical therapy. A patient presented with signs of intestinal obstruction, which was confirmed by radiography. A diospyrobezoar was revealed during gastroscopy that was not extractable due to its size and firmness. The obstruction was successfully managed following holium laser fragmentation using a “sandwich” strategy of ileal tube decompression and Coca-Cola lavage between two endoscopic lithotripsy procedures. This treatment strategy should therefore be considered in place of surgical intervention for the treatment of intestinal obstructions.
