RESUMEN
The paper focuses on the use of endoscopy in the extraction of 63 coins from the stomach of an adult psychiatric patient. So far, most such cases were dealt with by traditional surgery, and endoscopy was used for the removal of a few coins only. The present work emphasizes that endoscopy is a better option than surgical intervention as it is faster and has a shorter recovery time, lower risk of infection, and lower cost.
