Modified suction cap technique for endoscopic management of esophageal food impaction.

Acute food impaction, usually of a meat bolus, is the most common foreign body found in the esophagus [1]. Many methods of managing food impaction have been described. They include the administration of intravenous glucagon, the use of gas-forming carbonated beverages, of devices including nasogastric tubes and Foley catheters, and of endoscopy [1]. A particular endoscopic method described by Saeed et al. has proved to be a safe and effective means of retrieving food boluses [2]. We describe a simple and useful modification of this technique to improve the efficiency of endoscopic removal of impacted food.
