Background and Design.- Bezoars are indigestible conglomerates of food, fiber or hair that are found within gastrointestinal tract. Bezoars are usually encountered in patients with altered gastric anatomy and/or function. Especially, persimmon phytobezoar, although an infrequent entity, is not rare in some countries. A number of surgical, endoscopic and pharmacologic treatments have been proposed with variable success. Records of 21 consecutive cases with gastric bezoar undergone surgical treatment at our clinic, between 1982 and 2003, have been reviewed retrospectively.
