Between 1984 and 2001, 33 patients were treated because of foreign bodies in their lower respiratory tract. The age of patients ranged from 0 to 74 years, but the most numerous group was children between 0 and 5 years--16 cases and between 6 and 15 years--9 cases. The most often met foreign bodies were: organic--17 cases, metal bodies 7, plastic 7. We found proliferous changes in 2 patients. In all cases foreign bodies were removed by means of rigid bronchoscopy. In 30 cases they were treated within 48 hours. Only in one case, a ring, retained for 6 weeks. We didn't have any complications.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe a surgical technique of intestinal foreign body retrieval without gastrotomy using an endoscopic grasper and digital manipulation, and to compare short-term outcomes with patients who had similar obstructive intestinal foreign bodies removed via gastrotomy.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of dogs and cats with intestinal foreign bodies that underwent treatment with either the orogastric retrieval technique or gastrotomy between November 2021 and July 2023 were extracted. A comparison of the short-term outcomes was performed between the techniques.
"INSERT-COIN": A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF COIN INGESTION IN CHILDREN OF SOUTHERN ITALY.
Am J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Pediatric Clinic, Department of Surgical and Biomedical Sciences, University of Perugia, 06123 Perugia, Italy.
Background And Aims: Coins are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies. When they get stuck in the distal esophagus there is no general agreement about the timing of their removal, since some of them may spontaneously migrate into the stomach, no longer requiring removal. We aimed at evaluating the gastric spontaneous passage of esophageal-retained coins, as well as complications.
