60-year-old male presented for outpatient cystoscopy under General Anesthesia with a Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA). The patient denied dental prosthesis during assessment. In recovery, a family member noticed a missing dental bridge which prompted a workup that revealed the ingested dental bridge in the stomach. The patient underwent a second anesthetic for upper endoscopy to retrieve the foreign body. This case report highlights the need for vigilance during the entire perioperative period. Early interventions in this setting should include chest and abdominal x-rays and possibly an urgent endoscopy to prevent severe damage to the Gastrointestinal tract.
一名60岁男性在全身麻醉下使用喉罩气道（LMA）进行门诊膀胱镜检查。患者在评估期间否认有假牙。在恢复过程中，一名家属注意到牙桥缺失，随后进行的检查发现牙桥已被吞入胃中。患者接受了第二次麻醉以进行上消化道内镜检查以取出异物。本病例报告强调了在整个围手术期保持警惕的必要性。在此种情况下的早期干预措施应包括胸部和腹部X光检查，可能还需要紧急内镜检查，以防止对胃肠道造成严重损害。
