Aims Evaluate safety and efficacy of device-assisted enteroscopy (double balloon) for removal plastic stents retained in the small intestine.

Methods We incluided 7 cases with migrated plastic stents who required device-assisted enteroscopy (double balloon) attended at the gastrointestinal endoscopy service of the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition in Mexico City, from August 2011 to December 2021

Results 5 women and 2 men were included. In 5 patients, device-assisted anterograde enteroscopy (double balloon) was performed and in 2 patients device-assisted retrograde enteroscopy (double balloon) was performed. Removal plastic stents was reported in 100% (7/7) of patients. In 1 patient, sealed perforation was present. No complications inherent in the procedure were reported.

Conclusions The advent of device-assisted enteroscopy (double balloon) gives us a less invasive option for the extraction of foreign bodies in the small intestine, being safe in most cases
