A 56 years old male presented with abdominal distension and absolute constipation, X-ray showed a huge foreign body and PR showed empty rectum. Colonoscopy was done under surgical observation, it was seen at 35 cm from the anal orifice. Since, it had a wide diameter, multiple trials of gripping it failed because of the slippery surface and the straight forward opening snare, modification of the mega snare was done by pending the neck of the snare to open in right angle to be perpendicular to the sheath which grasped and extracted it successfully from the colon from the first trial.
