[Ingestion of unusual foreign bodies in adults about two cases observed at the treichville university hospital center].

Most of ingested foreign bodies passthrough the digestive tract spontaneously. The surgical care represents less than 1%. We report two cases of unexpected ingested foreign bodies treated surgically during the year 2019 in order to identify the surgical indications through a literaturereview. There were one woman and one man respectivelyaged 46 and 33. The accidentlyingestedforeign bodies werea denture and a toothbrush. An attempt to endoscopically extract the denture was unsuccessful. Peritonitis appeared as the complication in both cases. radiography of unprepared abdomen showed the foreign body in the epigastic area, associated with a pneumoperitonitis in one case. Gastrostomy through laparotomy allowed to extract the foreign body without any complication. Surgery should be indicated either in complications or failure of endoscopic means to extractlocked foreign bodies.
