Description
Abstract
Emergency gastroenterology evaluations related to complaints of foreign body ingestion are relatively common.
Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be excreted in the feces. But
sharp foreign bodies may be difficult to pass naturally without intervention and can cause devastating, risky
complications without urgent management. Complications include impaction, fistula formation, perforation,
mediastinitis, and sepsis. Here we present a difficult case of esophageal and duodenal foreign bodies effectively
removed endoscopically supported with a multi-disciplinary approach.
Keywords Foreign bodies, Perforation, Endoscopy, Overtube, Impaction
