Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • Esophageal foreign bodies represent a significant clinical challenge.
  • A 10-year retrospective survey analyzed 346 cases.
  • Data was collected from a single institution.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the epidemiology and management of esophageal foreign bodies.
  • To identify common foreign bodies and associated patient demographics.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of rigid esophagoscopy.

Summary:

  • Meat was the most frequent esophageal foreign body overall, contrasting with coins in pediatric cases.
  • Rigid esophagoscopy under general anesthesia was the primary intervention for 312 patients.
  • Successful foreign body removal was achieved in 90% of cases (281/312).

Impact:

  • The study highlights meat as a high-risk foreign body, particularly for elderly patients with distal esophageal impaction.
  • Iatrogenic esophageal perforation risk is elevated in specific patient groups and foreign body types.
  • Findings inform clinical practice regarding the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal foreign bodies.
