Abstract

The article describes two observations of acquired mechanical intestinal obstruction in children that occurred due to diospyrobezoars (phytobezoars formed in a persimmon). In the first case the obstruction was removed endoscopically. Thus, the major part of the diospyrobezoar was removed from the stomach using fibrogastroscopy whereas small fragments left the stomach spontaneously. In the second case diagnostic laparoscopy failed to reveal the reason for intestinal obstruction. Conversion was done; a foreign body was found in the jejunal lumen in the course of intestinal revision. The body was smashed palpatory and moved into the large intestine. The presented observations show that it is possible to apply the methods of removal of intestinal obstruction due to diospyrobezoars without dissecting the lumen of a hollow organ.
