title: Removal of foreign body from the trachea: An unusual method.
abstract: Tracheobronchial foreign bodies can be sometimes very difficult to remove. This may be related to the location and type of foreign body, experience of the bronchoscopist and the availability of appropriate instruments.([1]) We report a case of an uncommon foreign body (artificial denture) in the trachea in an adult female following extubation after Lower Segment Caesarian Section (LSCS) in whom conventional methods to remove it failed. The foreign body was eventually removed via tracheostome using rigid bronchoscope and forceps.
