Unforeseen encounter: After liver abscess drainage, a foreign body was found in the renal pelvis.

Intrarenal foreign bodies are rare and could be iatrogenic through direct penetration, penetration through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), or retrograde migration from the lower urinary tract. We present Intraoperatively incidental findings of an intrarenal foreign body during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with no previous urological intervention. However, there is a significant multiple percutaneous liver abscess drainage and endoscopic procedures.

Fishbone perforation of the stomach into the lesser sac and pancreas with abscess, a fishy business.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in critical practice. Thankfully, most of these objects will pass without complications; however, sharp and metallic objects can cause severe complications like ulcers and perforation. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract is rare; however, once it happens, prompt treatment is needed to prevent dreadful complications.

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract of children: A clinical analysis and guidelines for management.

Objective: In this paper, we analyzed the outcomes of foreign bodies in the digestive tract of 42 children who were hospitalized in the pediatric department of a tertiary hospital in a medium-sized city in China. The focus is on discussing the indications for removal of foreign bodies via digestive endoscopy. Methods: Forty-two children with foreign bodies in the digestive tract, hospitalized from June 2020 to October 2022 were selected.

Imaging presentations of foreign bodies that make for a challenging diagnosis: pictorial essay.

Foreign bodies (FBs) can pose a diagnostic dilemma because a wide range of objects, comprising items incidentally detected or deliberately retained in the body, can be discovered on imaging investigations. Single or multiple FBs may be retained at different sites including the gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary system, the respiratory tract, and the soft tissues, all of which warrant medical attention. More importantly, ensuing, serious complications related to harmful positioning of these objects can significantly hamper normal function of any involved organ system.

Successful esophagotomy after failed attempts of esophagoscopic retrieval of impacted denture.

Ingested foreign bodies, although fairly common among children, can present in individuals of all age. Most common risk factors for such cases in adults include psychiatric illness, alcohol abuse and ill-fitting dentures. Most of the ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract but intervention maybe required in case of impaction, obstruction or perforation.

Small bowel perforation following accidental ingestion of grill brush bristle. A case report.

Introduction: Ingested foreign bodies are common in otolaryngology and gastrointestinal surgery, with grill brush bristles posing different risks. This case report describes a small bowel perforation after ingestion of a grill brush bristle. This is an extremely rare complication.

Case Report of a Sharp-Pointed Foreign Body Ingested by a Child: How Long to Wait Before Surgical Intervention?

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is one of the most common and challenging scenarios encountered in an Emergency Department. The incidence varies in different centers. They may be blunt objects, sharp-pointed objects, magnets, food boluses, and disk batteries.

Removal of an embedded duodenal foreign body in a Schizophrenic adolescent with a guidewire-formed lasso.

Background: Foreign bodies (FBs) in the gastrointestinal tract are a common occurrence in pediatric patients, often requiring medical intervention for removal. Conventional extraction methods can be challenging, particularly when the FB is unusually large, long, abnormally positioned, or tightly embedded, presenting a gap in safe, non-surgical management techniques.

Case Presentation: In this report, we describe the innovative use of a lasso structure formed by a guidewire and biopsy forceps to successfully remove a tightly embedded toothbrush from the duodenum of a pediatric patient with schizophrenia, avoiding invasive surgical interventions, and the patient recovered well post-procedure without complications.

Fishbone Foreign Body Ingestion With Gastric Impaction and Intestinal Micro-perforation in an Adult Female: A Case Report.

Foreign body ingestion of fishbones is a very common complaint where most foreign bodies travel safely through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) without any serious complications. However, its clinical presentation is nonspecific, and its clinical severity can vary widely, thus requiring the use of conservative and or invasive treatment modalities. In this case report, we present a case of a 42-year-old female who reported eating fish two days prior to presenting with upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) foreign body impaction in addition to a lower GIT micro-perforation secondary to fishbone ingestion, both of which were successfully managed with conservative, nonsurgical treatment modalities.

Clinical presentation, investigation findings, and treatment outcomes of intraluminal small intestinal obstruction by bezoars and other materials in adult cows- a retrospective study of 110 cases.

Background: Small intestinal obstruction (SIO) is a blockage of the intestinal lumen by blunt foreign bodies, neoplasms originating from the intestinal wall or thick chyme. This study analysed the medical records (only data) of 110 cattle with SIO and described the clinical findings, treatment and outcome. These findings were compared between surviving and non-surviving cattle, and among the affected regions such as the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.

The Use of Intra-Operative Endoscopy in Dogs and Cats for the Removal of Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies: Five Cases (2014-2015).

Objectives: We report the use of intra-operative endoscopy, termed here 'surgically-assisted endoscopy'. The procedure spares a gastrotomy, therefore, shortening anaesthetic time, minimising potential complications and resulting in a quicker and less painful recovery.

Methods: Four dogs and one cat requiring surgical celiotomy for various conditions were treated.

Application of a double-balloon method to remove button battery at the entrance of esophagus in a 17-month-old child: a case report.

Background: Since children have strong desire for exploration and poor safety awareness, foreign body impaction in the digestive tract is one of the most common critical conditions in children. Due to the popularity of electronic products, button battery ingestion by mistake is also increasing in children. Button battery impaction in the esophagus can cause serious complications such as esophageal cauterization and perforation in a short time.

Postoperative Sinus Tract: A Rare Occurrence Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

A sinus tract is a rare clinical condition characterized by a blind-ended tubular structure extending from deeper tissues to the skin, commonly occurring postoperatively, especially after gastrointestinal surgeries. Its pathogenesis often involves the breakdown of fatty tissue, pyogenic infections, or the retention of foreign bodies such as surgical implants or sutures. One notable scenario includes sinus tract formation following laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to retained gallstones.

Small bowel perforation with ingestion of a fish bone: case report.

The perforation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by fish bone is rare, with a percentage rate of 1%. Surgical intervention is necessary in less than 1% of cases. We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who was admitted for a rectus sheath abscess caused by perforation of the small bowel by a fish bone.

Perianal Pulse Granuloma Induced by Plant-Derived Baby Wipes.

Pulse granulomas are unusual foreign body reactions to exogenous plant material, featuring the presence of hyaline ring structures and granulomatous inflammation. Pulse granulomas have been reported to occur in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory tract. Cutaneous pulse granulomas are exceedingly rare.

Deceiving duodenal erosion: a fishbone lies beneath.

Incidental identification of foreign body (FB) during daily screening endoscopy is not rare. The patients may have unspecific symptoms and do not report a history of FB ingestion at presentation. Although these FBs mostly pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully, a certain proportion could be impacted and cause complications.

Abdominal foreign body migration causing cardiac tamponade: A case report.

Chronic asymptomatic retention of an intragastric foreign body can pose a life-threatening scenario. In the event of migration, it may result in perforation, as shown in our unique case of pericardial perforation through the fundus. Beyond illustrating a rare condition, this case prompts us to engage in a debate about whether to retain or remove asymptomatic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.

Unexpected Foreign Body-Induced Small Bowel adenocarcinoma: A Case Report.

Background: Foreign body-induced cancer is a traditional way of understanding cancer development. The induction of cancers by exogenous foreign bodies has been identified in many organs. However, small bowel adenocarcinoma induced by foreign bodies has not been reported in the literature, although the incidence of small bowel adenocarcinoma is increasing globally.

A Rare Case of Gastric Trichobezoar Managed by Laparotomy.

Trichobezoars, rare gastrointestinal foreign bodies composed of ingested hair, typically affect females with psychiatric disorders such as trichotillomania and pica. This case report highlights the diagnostic and treatment challenges in an 18-year-old female presenting with a left upper quadrant mass and pain, who was found to have a large gastric trichobezoar. After diagnostic imaging confirmed the bezoar, it was surgically removed, and the patient had an uneventful recovery.

Cross-sectional survey of 43,517 dogs in the Dog Aging Project identifies owner-reported lifetime prevalence and characteristics of gastrointestinal disease.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of and characteristics associated with owner-reported gastrointestinal (GI) disease in companion dogs within the US.

Methods: Cross-sectional owner-reported survey study of 43,517 dogs enrolled in the DAP between December 26, 2019, and December 31, 2022. Dogs were grouped on the basis of having an owner-reported GI disorder (ORGID) versus not having that ORGID at any point in their history (control group).
