This article presents a case report of the laparoscopic removal of a large gastric trichobezoar in a 13-year-old girl. We reviewed the various laparoscopic techniques and their modifications described in the literature for removal of gastric trichobezoar. Advantages and disadvantages of various techniques were also discussed.
