BULLET POINT SUMMARY: The best diagnostic and therapeutic method for the management of foreign body in the oesophagus is examination under anaesthesia.Suspension microesophagoscopy can be done in the operation theatre with pre-existing instrument.This technique allows freedom for a two-handed technique.This technique gives a magnified visualisation of the mucosa revealing any embedded foreign body.

OBJECTIVE: This paper presents a novel, safe and cost-effective approach to temporary tracheal ventilation of the obstructed airway in a child with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis using the laryngeal suction tube connected to general anaesthetic (GA) machine.
RESULT AND CONCLUSION: Rigid laryngeal suction tube is placed through the side-port of Lindholm laryngoscope and connected to breathing circuit of GA machine. Manual bagging ventilation with 100% FiO2 achieved good oxygenation throughout the debulking of the papilloma without hindering the surgical field. Our technique utilizes the readily available equipment whilst enabling safe anaesthesia and providing good surgical field during excision of obstructive papillomatous airway lesion.
