Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Esophageal foreign bodies pose a significant clinical challenge, particularly in pediatric populations.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical for effective management and prevention of complications.
  • This study reviews a large cohort of patients managed over several decades.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the characteristics, diagnostic methods, management, and complications of esophageal foreign bodies.
  • To identify common foreign bodies and risk factors associated with severe outcomes.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of rigid esophagoscopy for foreign body removal.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 1496 patients with esophageal foreign bodies treated between 1945 and 1997.

  • The majority of patients were under five years old, with bones and coins being the most frequent foreign bodies.
  • Rigid esophagoscopy was the primary removal method, with a high success rate (98%) and low incidence of severe complications like perforation and mediastinitis.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and endoscopic intervention for esophageal foreign bodies.
    • Provides valuable data on the epidemiology and outcomes of esophageal foreign bodies, informing clinical practice.
    • Emphasizes the safety and effectiveness of rigid esophagoscopy in managing these cases, especially in children.
