Core Tip
Core tip: Endoscopic therapy is the first choice for gastrolithiasis. The commonly used method is cutting gastroliths into small pieces and then taking them out with foreign body forceps, snares, injection needles, and net baskets. However, these tools have insurmountable defects, such as cumbersome operation times and must be entered repeatedly, increasing the risk of damage to the patient’s throat and esophagus, and has higher treatment costs. Since October 2016, our team has treated gastric persimmon stones with self-made snares. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of self-made snares will be analyzed and compared with those of traditional tools.
