| Core Tip |
Impacted dentures represent high-risk esophageal foreign bodies because their metal clasps and irregular edges can become firmly embedded in the mucosa, making conventional retrieval with snares or forceps technically challenging and potentially hazardous. This case highlights a novel stepwise endoscopic strategy that incorporates thulium laser-assisted partial fragmentation, followed by definitive mechanical fragmentation using a clutch cutter and subsequent basket retrieval, thereby avoiding highly morbid surgical intervention. The findings demonstrate that the combined use of energy-assisted and mechanical fragmentation serves as an effective rescue technique for the management of complex denture impactions when standard retrieval techniques are unsuccessful. |
