The Authors, while presenting a case of endoscopic extraction of a foreign body fixed in the duodenum, underline the value of operative endoscopy, which, going beyond the limits of a exclusively diagnostic technique, is intended as a first choice therapeutic procedure to be always carried out, leaving to surgery the treatment of the most complicated cases and those where the endoscopic attempt fails.
