Abstract
Foreign body removal is commonly performed with the rigid bronchoscope. However, based on recent literature, extraction with the flexible bronchoscope has increased in popularity. Here, we discuss a new tool − the flexible cryoprobe − that may enhance foreign body retrieval in select patients and comment on the methods of foreign body extraction in the view of common clinical practice.
