Swallowed foreign objects
Gastrointestinal foreign bodies are common abdominal emergencies. Most foreign bodies are swallowed, which often occurs in infants and young children, mentally ill people, or people who attempt suicide. There are usually no clinical symptoms, and foreign bodies can be expelled through the anus by themselves, but some patients need surgical treatment due to difficulties in expelling foreign bodies or complications. In recent years, due to the popularization and development of endoscopes, some foreign bodies in the digestive tract can be removed with the help of endoscopes, thus reducing the chances of complications and surgical treatment.
