He was fortunately able in this particular instance to find the head endoscopically and remove the pin; but he can easily see how information from the fluoroscopist working jointly with the endoscopist could, in such a case, give assistance of the utmost value, especially with the double-plane fluoroscope devised for the author by Dr. Grier. In cases of bodies of irregular shape the fluorescent screen affords no evidence whatever that the foreign body is being so seized that it will not lacerate the esophagus during withdrawal.
