Interesting Procedures
1. Retrieval of open safety pin (unlike the closed one) is very difficult
2. We removed it without any complications on 7.9.19
3. Deployment of Anti Reflux Self Expanding Metallic Stent in a patient with inoperable OG Junction Growth
4. Esophageal Polypectomy done for GIST presenting as Esophageal Polyp
