Ingestion of a foreign body is a common problem among all age groups, particularly in children. In case of adult patients, they are accidental or intentional. Current guidelines on the management of ingested sharp objects recommend the urgent endoscopic removal of sharp objects at or above the proximal duodenum. Conservative management is appropriate for the majority of patients, since most objects (blunt and small foreign body) will pass uneventfully. Patients who with enent of present ingestion of foreign bodies, efforts should also focus on prevention of recurrence as subsequent episodes are associated with higher morbidity, significant healthcare, and security costs.
