Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures
  • Foreign Body Ingestion

Background:

  • Ingestion of safety pins is a significant concern in pediatric populations.
  • It can lead to serious health issues, including morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical management strategies for ingested safety pins in children.
  • To introduce a novel algorithm for handling such cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 20 pediatric cases with ingested safety pins over four years.
  • Endoscopic examination to locate and remove foreign bodies.

Main Results:

  • Safety pins were located in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum in most cases.
  • Endoscopic removal was successful in 75% of cases; no surgical intervention was required.
  • No major complications like perforation or death occurred, with minor erosions being the only issue.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic removal of ingested safety pins is a safe and effective procedure.
  • Early endoscopic intervention for safety pin ingestion, particularly in the esophagus and stomach, is crucial.
  • Prompt endoscopic procedures minimize risks and improve patient outcomes.
