Case report shows successful endoscopic removal of a migrated stent in the peritoneal cavity, suggesting new approaches.

Successful removal of a migrated stent in the peritoneal cavity was achieved endoscopically under ultrasound guidance.
In this unique case, endoscopic ultrasonography was used to navigate and retrieve a stent, highlighting potential for minimally invasive intervention.
The method involved using grasping forceps under endoscopic guidance, indicating a promising technique for stent migration cases.
This approach may reduce the need for more invasive surgical interventions, suggesting a shift in managing severe EUS complications.

Takahashi et al. (2025) studied this question.
