Large gastric trichobezoars usually are difficult to remove gastroscopically without gradual fragmentation. Surgical retrieval of trichobezoars may be recommended, which requires laparotomy and gastrotomy. The authors report a case in which an 11-year-old girl with a trichobezoar underwent successful removal using gastroscopy with laparoscopically assisted fragmentation.
