Popis:	Surgical extraction of bezoars is a procedure infrequently encountered. We report the case of a 12-year old girl with a gastric trichobezoar of 0.7 L. The diagnosis was made with a contrast enhanced CT scan. Surgery consisted of a small laparotomy, insertion of an Alexis retractor, and subsequent piecemeal evacuation through a small gastrotomy. The operating time was less than 1 h. We believe this approach is highly feasible in the treatment of gastric trichobezoars.
