Abstract

Various therapeutic modalities have been proposed to treat trichobezoar and Rapunzel syndrome. The treatment options were modified with the advent of laparoscopy. We reported two 7- and 12-year-old female patients with Rapunzel syndrome and thrichobezoar, respectively, who were successfully operated by laparoscopy.
