Cap-assisted 5-cm diameter cold snare treatment for phytobezoars: A retrospective study
The results of this study indicated that the cap-assisted 5-cm diameter cold snare technique is safe, feasible, and effective for treating huge gastric bezoars, offering a new treatment method for this disease. Given the limitations inherent in the retrospective nature and relatively small sample size of this study, a prospective, multicenter, large-sample clinical trial is warranted to evaluate the efficacy and generalizability of this technique comprehensively.
