We describe a case of a 53-year-old female who presented for elective esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and eventually needed surgical intervention to remove a plastic fork that she accidentally swallowed twenty years prior while in prison. This article highlights approaches to retrieving a foreign object within the stomach via endoscopy, the importance of recognizing the risks of endoscopy, and serves as a reminder that we must be aware of the social determinants of health that pertain to our patients.

Leveraging data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study, we provide an in-depth global, regional, and national analysis of FBA trends over the past three decades, including the first evaluation of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs).
