Summary

Foreign body ingestion in patients-prisoners requires prompt endoscopic removal for esophageal cases. Delayed surgery for stomach or duodenal foreign bodies increases perforation risk, while small ingestions typically pass without intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy
  • Trauma Management

Context:

  • Observational study of 128 patients-prisoners with foreign body ingestion over two years.
  • Focus on management of esophageal, gastric, and duodenal foreign bodies.
  • Analysis of complications associated with delayed surgical intervention.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic and surgical interventions for foreign body ingestion.
  • To determine the risks associated with delayed treatment of gastrointestinal foreign bodies.
  • To establish guidelines for managing ingested foreign bodies in a patient-prisoner population.

Summary:

  • Esophageal foreign bodies (anchors, crosses) were successfully removed endoscopically.
  • Gastric and duodenal foreign bodies (rods, crosses) were managed surgically with no complications.
  • Delayed surgery (weeks) led to gastrointestinal perforation in nearly 20% of cases, with one fatality.
  • Small foreign bodies (<10 cm) generally pass spontaneously, though rare perforations can occur without symptoms.

Impact:

  • Highlights the efficacy of immediate endoscopic intervention for esophageal foreign bodies.
  • Underscores the critical importance of timely surgical management for gastric and duodenal foreign bodies to prevent life-threatening complications.
  • Provides evidence for conservative management of small, asymptomatic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.
