According to the reporter, the patient had a retained capsule in their small bowel since (b)(6) 2024 and believe that it was stuck proximal to a segment of inflamed crohn's.The patient was asymptomatic and had no complications but already had 3 laparotomies so further surgery would have significant risk.Tried to have some steroids to see if this makes a difference.
