Foreign Body Removal

Dr. Megha Rustagi, an experienced Pediatric Gastroenterologist, specializes in the safe and effective removal of ingested foreign bodies through endoscopy. This minimally invasive procedure allows her to visualize the gastrointestinal tract using a flexible camera and carefully extract the object without surgery. Early intervention by Dr. Megha Rustagi ensures that the foreign body is removed safely, reducing the risk of damage to the digestive tract and ensuring the child’s quick recovery. When a child accidentally swallows a foreign object such as a coin, magnet, button battery, or any sharp item, it can be a medical emergency. These objects may get stuck in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines, causing pain, vomiting, or even serious complications like perforation or bleeding. Immediate medical evaluation is crucial in such cases.
