✦ Synopsis

Diagnosis and Management of Ingested Foreign Bodies: A Ten.Year Experience

Ingested gastrointestinal foreign bodies may be managed by observation, endoscopy, and~or surgical intervention. We retrospectively reviewed 87 consecutive cases of foreign body ir~gestion. In 49 patients the ingested foreign body had passed beyond the gastroesophageal junction, and these cases form the basis of this study. Of the 49 patients, 19 (38.7%) required surgical intervention for removal of the swallowed object. Nearly 75% of these patients had swallowed objects that were more than 6.5 cm in length. Of 30 adults, more than 50% required surgery for removal of the foreign body. However, fewer than I6% of children who had swallowed and retained foreign bodies required surgery for ultimate cure. Based on these findings, guidelines are presented for the management of foreign body ingestion.
