    Background/PurposeThis study demonstrates a minimally invasive technique for upper esophageal coin extraction.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of 36 children who had upper esophageal coins extracted using a Magill forceps.ResultsAll coins were removed without complication in approximately 45 seconds (33 on the first attempt, 3 on the second attempt).ConclusionsThis technique minimizes instrumentation of the esophagus and is highly successful at removing coins lodged at or immediately below the level of the cricipharyngeus muscle.Copyright 2003, Elsevier Science (USA).
