Abstract
In this case report, 60-year-old patient who aspirated total dental prosthesis into the postcricoid region was presented with patient's history, clinical findings, radiologic examinations and surgical treatment with comparison of literature data. To our literature knowledge, this is the first total dental prosthesis detected in postcricoid region. This was unusual because it did not cause any respiratory disorders such as laryngospasm and asphyxia, although it led to mucosal abrasions in a wide area of esophageus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported the successful development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for preventing retained surgical sponges with deep learning using training data, including composite and simulated radiographs. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of the CAD system in a clinical setting. STUDY DESIGN A total of 1,053 postoperative radiographs obtained from patients 20 years of age or older who underwent surgery were evaluated. We implemented a foreign object detection application software on the portable radiographic device used in the operating room to detect retained surgical sponges. The results of the CAD system diagnosis were prospectively collected. RESULTS Among the 1,053 images, the CAD system detected possible retained surgical items in 150 images. Specificity was 85.8%, which is similar to the data obtained during the development of the software. CONCLUSIONS The validation of a CAD system using deep learning in a clinical setting showed similar efficacy as during the development of the system. These results suggest that the CAD system can contribute to the establishment of a more effective protocol than the current standard practice for preventing the retention of surgical items.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foreign bodies in the pediatric urogenital tract are rare but urgent clinical conditions that can cause severe symptoms and complications. The current management remains challenging. OBJECTIVE This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies for pediatric urogenital tract foreign bodies. Through a retrospective analysis of patient data, valuable insights into the management of this condition are offered to facilitate the development of more effective management strategies. METHODS A single-center retrospective study design was employed, reviewing clinical data of 30 pediatric patients with urogenital tract foreign bodies admitted to Anhui Children's Hospital from October 2016 to May 2023. This included 16 cases of urethral and bladder foreign bodies and 14 cases of vaginal foreign bodies. Among them, there were 14 males and 16 females, with a median age of 6.3 years. Treatment methods included transvaginal endoscopic removal, cystoscopic removal, pneumovesicum laparoscopy removal, and perineal incisional foreign body removal. Surgical time, blood loss, hospitalization days, and postoperative follow-up results were recorded. RESULTS Key clinical presentations included vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, hematuria, dysuria, urinary retention, and perineal pain. Preoperative routine examinations included ultrasound, abdominal radiography, and, in some cases, CT scans. All 30 patients underwent successful surgery, with a median surgical time of 30.5 min (IQR 16.8-50.8), minimal intraoperative bleeding, and a median postoperative hospital stay of 2 days (IQR 2-3). Follow-up from 3 months to 1 year revealed no abnormalities in the urogenital system, no residual foreign bodies, and no occurrence of severe complications. No cases of recurrent foreign body insertion were observed. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric urogenital tract foreign bodies are crucial to reduce patient suffering and the risk of complications. The choice of surgical method depends on the type, size, and location of the foreign body, with endoscopy being the preferred option. Laparoscopic cystoscopy and open surgery are also effective treatment modalities.

Abstract
Foreign body (FB) aspiration requiring prompt intervention to prevent severe complications. The endoscopic injection needle, commonly employed for intramucosal injections in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract, while with no previous reports of used for FB extraction. Here we report a case of a pea impacted in the laryngeal ventricle of an adult patient, which became lodged in her right laryngeal ventricle. Conventional methods, such as flexible forceps and baskets, were deemed unsuitable for retrieving this fragile and mushy FB. Therefore, we introduce a novel technique using a modified endoscopic injection needle, which proved successful in removing the foreign body. Laryngoscope, 134:2338-2340, 2024.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Retained shrapnel from gunshots is a common occurrence; however, retained shrapnel within the spinal canal is exceedingly uncommon. Guidelines for removal and treatment of these cases are a difficult topic, as surgical removal is not necessarily without consequence, and retention can lead to possible further injury or a secondary disease process of plumbism, which can be difficult to diagnose in this population. CASE PRESENTATION This case report provides a unique example of a young patient with retained shrapnel from a gunshot. This patient suffered an initial spinal cord injury due to a gunshot and secondarily presented with abdominal pain, fatigue, elevated blood lead levels, and was diagnosed with plumbism. This was addressed with operative removal of shrapnel and posterior instrumented spinal fusion, resulting in decreased lead levels and symptom resolution postoperatively. DISCUSSION Lead toxicity risk in patients with retained shrapnel, particularly in the spine, warrants vigilant monitoring. While management guidelines lack consensus, symptomatic lead toxicity may necessitate intervention. Residual neurological deficits complicate evaluation, emphasizing individualized management decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unintentional medication-blister ingestion is rare but frequently leads to intestinal perforation. The diagnosis of intestinal perforation following blister ingestion is often delayed because of an unreliable history and nonspecific clinical presentation. The purpose of this case report is to raise awareness about a rare but difficult diagnosis and its importance in avoiding potentially fatal events. CASE REPORT Herein, we describe successful cases of surgical and endoscopic removal after blister ingestion. The first case was that of a polymorbid 75-year-old man who presented with acute onset of abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant and epigastric regions. No indication of the cause was observed on initial computed tomography (CT). The patient developed an acute abdomen, and emergency laparotomy was performed, during which 2 small perforations were observed in the terminal ileum, and an empty tablet blister was retrieved. The second patient was a 55-year-old man who presented with a considerable lack of awareness. On the initial CT, a subdural hematoma, aspiration, and an unidentified foreign body in the stomach were observed. Gastroscopy was performed after emergency craniotomy. In addition to the initial foreign body, a second object, which had gone unnoticed on the initial CT, was found and removed from the esophagus. CONCLUSIONS With an increased risk of perforation and difficult clinical and radiological diagnoses, prophylactic measures and special awareness of high-risk patients are particularly important.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal foreign bodies present a common clinical challenge. We present an unusual case of a 58-year-old construction worker who ingested liquid concrete that risked solidifying in his stomach. Gastroscopy revealed only partial solidification and pyloric obstruction, which were successfully resolved through endoscopic fragmentation and mechanical removal. To protect the gastric mucosa during elimination, liquid paraffin and a cellulose-based formula were administered. Complete gastrointestinal evacuation was achieved within 3 days, with no complications observed. This case emphasises the urgency of the early removal of concrete.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined the imaging characteristics of cosmetic surgery-derived foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region through a retrospective review of cosmetic material foreign bodies incidentally detected on computed tomography (CT) images in routine clinical practice. METHODS We retrospectively investigated cases of cosmetic surgery-derived foreign bodies other than dental materials in the maxillofacial region, using 5 years of CT image data stored on an imaging server. The imaging findings of these foreign bodies were investigated, along with patient age, patient sex, whether the foreign bodies were associated with the disease targeted by the CT scan, and the availability of cosmetic surgery information prior to examination. RESULTS Foreign bodies were more common in women (19/21 cases), and affected patients displayed a wide age range (20-84 years). Four types of cosmetic surgery-derived foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region were detected by CT examination: nasal prostheses (nasal region), lifting sutures and injectable facial fillers (both in the buccal region), and silicone chin implants (chin region). CONCLUSIONS A cosmetic surgery-derived foreign body should be suspected when a foreign body is identified without a dental source of infection. In addition, cosmetic surgery-derived foreign bodies may be present in numerous patients, regardless of age or sex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mediastinal lymphadenopathies with high 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in patients previously operated on for lung cancer are alarming for recurrence and necessitate invasive diagnostic procedures. Peroperative placement of oxidized cellulose to control minor bleeding may lead to a metastasis-like image through a foreign body reaction within the dissected mediastinal lymph node field at postoperative examinations. In this study, we investigated clinicopathological features and the frequency of foreign body reaction mimicking mediastinal lymph node metastasis. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for lung cancer between January 2016 and August 2021 and who were subsequently evaluated for mediastinal recurrence with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) were included. Patients were grouped according to the results of EBUS-TBNA as metastasis, foreign body, and reactive. Clinicopathological features of these patients were compared and characteristics of patients in the foreign body group were scrutinized. RESULTS EBUS-TBNA was performed on a total of 34 patients during their postoperative follow-up due to suspicion of mediastinal recurrence. EBUS-TBNA pathological workup revealed metastasis in 18 (52.9%), foreign body reaction in 10 (29.4%) and reactive lymph nodes in 6 (17.6%) patients. Mean maximum standardized uptake value (SUVMax) for metastasis group and foreign body group were 9.39 ± 4.69 and 5.48 ± 2.54, respectively (p = 0.022). Time interval between the operation and EBUS-TBNA for the metastasis group was 23.72 ± 10.48 months, while it was 14.90 ± 12.51 months in the foreign body group (p = 0.015). CONCLUSION Foreign body reaction mimicking mediastinal lymph node metastasis is not uncommon. Iatrogenic cause of mediastinal lymphadenopathy is related to earlier presentation and lower SUVMax compared with metastatic lymphadenopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foreign bodies within the pleura and pancreas are infrequent, and the approaches to their treatment still a subject of debate. There is limited knowledge particularly regarding glass foreign bodies. METHODS We present a case involving large glass splinters in the pleura and pancreas, with an unknown entry point. In addition, a systematic review was conducted to explore entry hypotheses and management options. RESULTS In addition to our case, our review uncovered eight incidents of intrapleural glass, and another eight cases of glass in other intrathoracic areas. The fragments entered the body through impalement (81%), migrated through the diaphragm after impalement (6%), or caused transesophageal perforation (19%) following ingestion. Eight instances of glass inside the abdominal cavity were documented, with seven resulting from impalement injuries and one from transintestinal migration. There were no recorded instances of glass being discovered within the pancreas. Among the 41 nonglass intrapancreatic foreign bodies found, sewing needles (34%) and fish bones (46%) were the most common; following ingestion, they had migrated through either a transgastric or transduodenal perforation. In all these cases, how the foreign bodies were introduced was often poorly recalled by the patient. Many nonglass foreign bodies tend to become encapsulated by fibrous tissue, rendering them inert, though this is less common with glass. Glass has been reported to migrate through various tissues and cavities, sometimes with a significant delay spanning even decades. There are cases of intrapleural migration of glass causing hemothorax, pneumothorax, and heart and major blood vessels injury. For intrapleural glass fragment management, thoracoscopy proved to be effective in 5 reported cases, in addition to our patient. Most intrapancreatic nonglass foreign bodies tend to trigger pancreatitis and abscess formation, necessitating management ranging from laparoscopic procedures to subtotal pancreatectomy. There have been only four documented cases of intrapancreatic needles that remained asymptomatic with conservative management. There is no direct guidance from the existing literature regarding management of intrapancreatic glass foreign bodies. Consequently, our patient is under observation with regular follow-ups and has remained asymptomatic for the past 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Glass foreign bodies in the pleura are rare, and our report of an intrapancreatic glass fragment is the first of its kind. Impalement is the most likely method of introduction. As glass has significant migration and an ensuing complication potential, preventive removal of intrapleural loose glass should be considered. However, intrapancreatic glass fragment management remains uncertain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Duodenal perforation caused by foreign bodies (FBs) is very rare but is an urgent emergency that traditionally requires surgical intervention. Several case reports have reported the successful endoscopic removal of duodenal perforating FBs. Here we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic management of duodenal perforating FBs in adults. METHODS Between October 2004 and October 2022, 12,851 patients with endoscopically diagnosed gastrointestinal FBs from four tertiary hospitals in China were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were enrolled if they were endoscopically and/or radiographically diagnosed with duodenal perforating FBs. RESULTS The incidence of duodenal total FBs and perforating FBs was 1.9% and 0.3%, respectively. Thirty-four patients were enrolled. Endoscopic removal was achieved in 25 patients (73.5%), and nine patients (26.5%) received surgery. For the endoscopic group, most perforating FBs were located in the duodenal bulb (36.0%) and descending part (28.0%). The adverse events included 3 mucosal injuries and 1 localized peritonitis. All patients were cured after conventional treatment. In the surgical group, most FBs were lodged in the descending part (55.6%). One patient developed localized peritonitis and one patient died of multiple organ failure. The significant features of FBs requiring surgery included FB over 10 cm, both sides perforation, multiple perforating FBs and massive pus overflow. CONCLUSION Endoscopic removal of duodenal perforating FBs is safe and effective, and can be the first choice of treatment for experienced endoscopists. Surgical intervention may be required for patients with FBs over 10 cm, both sides perforation, multiple perforating FBs, or severe infections.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis comparing the short-term and long-term outcomes in laparoscopic groin hernia repair with or without preservation of the uterine round ligament (URL) in females. METHODS We searched several databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and and CNKI databases. This meta-analysis included randomized clinical trials, and retrospective comparative studies regarding preservation or division of the URL in laparoscopic groin hernia repair in females. Outcomes of interest were age, BMI, type of hernia, type of surgery, operating time, estimated blood loss, time of hospitalization, seroma, concomitant injury, mesh infection, recurrence, uterine prolapse, foreign body sensation, chronic pain, and pregnancy. Meta-analyses and trial sequential analysis were performed with Review Manager v5.3 and TSA software, respectively. RESULTS Of 192 potentially eligible articles, 9 studies with 1104 participants met the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant difference in age (MD-6.58, 95% CI - 13.41 to 0.24; P = 0.06), BMI (MD 0.05, 95%CI - 0.31 to 0.40; P = 0.81), blood loss (MD-0.04, 95% CI - 0.75 to 0.66; P = 0.90), time of hospitalization (MD-0.22, 95% CI-1.13 to 0.69; P = 0.64), seroma (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.24; P = 0.23), concomitant injury (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.01 to 8.24; P = 0.68), mesh infection (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.61; P = 0.18), recurrence (OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.18 to 7.25; P = 0.90), uterine prolapse(OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.07 to 6.94; P = 0.77), foreign body sensation (OR 1.95, 95% CI 0.53 to 7.23; P = 0.32) and chronic pain(OR 1.03 95% CI 0.4 to 2.69; P = 0.95). However, this meta-analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference in operating time (MD 6.62, 95% CI 2.20 to 11.04; P = 0.0003) between the preservation group and division group. Trial sequential analysis showed that the cumulative Z value of the operating time crossed the traditional boundary value and the TSA boundary value in the third study, and the cumulative sample size had reached the required information size (RIS), indicating that the current conclusion was stable. CONCLUSION In summary, laparoscopic groin hernia repair in women with the preservation of the round uterine ligament requires a longer operating time, but there was no advantage in short-term or long-term complications, and there was no clear evidence on whether it causes infertility and uterine prolapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is a common problem in children. Fortunately, the gastrointestinal tract is quite resilient to foreign bodies. On the other hand, the ingestion of magnets can result in enormous morbidity. Because of their natural tendency to firmly adhere they can cause intestinal obstruction, pressure necrosis, fistula formation or perforation. With this case report, we aim to raise awareness of the risks that these magnets pose to children. METHODS We describe a case of intestinal perforation caused by the separate ingestion of multiple magnets from a children's toy (buckyballs, Neodymium spheres) by a two-year-old boy. A search in the Pubmed database showed some publications and varied management guidelines. RESULTS The boy was treated with an exploratory laparoscopy converted to a mini-laparotomy. We removed the four magnets through separate enterotomies. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. The boy was discharged on a postoperative day five and had no complications at three months follow-ups. CONCLUSION Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets is rare but can create a life-threatening situation in children. If the magnets are still in the stomach, endoscopic retrieval is needed. If they are beyond the stomach, in asymptomatic cases close clinical and radiographic vigilance is mandatory. When symptomatic we advise urgent removal. If treated on time, the surgical outcome is good and fast recovery is expected.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is considerable variability among surgeons regarding the type of mesh used in ventral hernia repair. There has been an increasing incidence of mesh fractures with lightweight (LW) and mediumweight (MW) meshes. However, HW mesh has been associated with a greater foreign body sensation and chronic pain. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of HW and non-heavyweight (NHW) meshes in ventral hernia repair. METHODS We systematically reviewed the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus databases to identify studies comparing HW with NHW meshes in hernia repair. Outcomes analyzed included hernia recurrence, seroma, hematoma, foreign body sensation, postoperative pain, and wound infection. We performed two subgroup analyses focusing on randomized controlled trials and open retromuscular repairs. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. RESULTS We screened 1704 studies. Nine studies were finally included in this meta-analysis and comprised 3001 patients from 4 RCTs and 5 non-randomized. The majority of patients (57.1%) underwent open retromuscular repair. HW mesh was significantly associated with increased in foreign body sensation (OR 3.71; 95% CI 1.40-9.84; p = 0.008), but there was no difference in other outcomes. In RCTs analysis, there was no difference between meshes. In open retromuscular repairs, HW mesh was associated with more seromas (OR 1.48; 95% CI 1.01-2.17; p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study found that HW mesh was associated with more foreign body sensation. Also, open retromuscular repairs analysis showed that HW was associated with more seromas. Further randomized studies are needed to understand better the role of HW mesh in ventral hernia repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retained foreign objects (RFOs) can place patients undergoing cataract surgery at risk for significant vision-threatening complications. In this systematic review, we examine the characteristics, clinical outcomes, and management of RFOs originating from surgical instruments or the surgical field after routine cataract surgery. METHODS Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched five databases in June 2023. The inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed, full-text, English-language articles describing RFOs after routine cataract surgery. Studies that described non-routine cataract surgeries, patients with a history of ocular trauma, or organic RFOs were excluded. Two investigators independently extracted data and appraised the methodological quality of each study using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were included in our qualitative synthesis describing metal, fiber, and plastic RFOs. Typically, the RFOs were detected during surgery or slit-lamp examination. Presentations of patients with metal or fiber RFOs varied, with some being asymptomatic. Patients with plastic RFOs were usually symptomatic, often with decreased visual acuity and/or anterior chamber inflammation. Metal RFOs may have originated from metal fatigue from prolonged instrument usage and contact between surgical instruments, fiber RFOs from surgical wipes and gauzes, and plastic RFOs from instrument wrapping and intraocular lens defects. Factors such as location, biocompatibility, and secondary intraocular inflammation influenced the decision to surgically remove RFOs. Following surgical removal, the signs and symptoms resolved in most patients with RFOs. The studies' GRADE ratings indicated limitations in risk of bias and imprecision. CONCLUSION The presentation and management of RFOs varied depending on the type of material. To prevent RFOs, clinicians should carefully inspect surgical instruments and packs and use fiber-free wipes, towels, and gauzes. Future studies should investigate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of different RFO prevention strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inhalation of a foreign body is a real emergency in pediatric age and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to reduce mortality. The objective of this study is to analyze clinical and radiological details, types, and localization of foreign bodies in patients conducted or to our hospital with suspected inhalation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of all cases of foreign body inhalation admitted to our Pediatric Emergency Room between January 2009 and June 2022. RESULTS 171 patients were included in the study. In 83 patients, the FB was detected. The mean age of presentation was 2.3 years (SD: ± 2). Cough (73%) and unilateral reduced breath sound (51%) were the most common clinical symptom and clinical sign. The most frequent localization was the right main bronchus (43%). The foreign bodies retrieved were vegetable (83%), of which peanut was the most common. Chest radiographs were normal in 25%. The mean duration of hospitalization was 5 days (± 2.9). Complications such as pneumothorax were seen in two cases. CONCLUSIONS Foreign body inhalation represents a true pediatric emergency and still a challenge in clinical practice. The best way to manage it is an early diagnosis and removal by fully trained staff.

Abstract
Endoscopy is widely used to remove gastric foreign bodies using grasping forceps and loop snares to manipulate and retrieve the foreign material. However, as not all foreign bodies can be removed using conventional endoscopic techniques, this case series describes the use of bottle liners for the removal of gastric foreign bodies in 12 dogs between 2020 and 2023. A 4 oz bottle liner (Drop-Ins) was placed at the end of the endoscope and pushed into the stomach. With the help of forceps introduced into the operating channel, the foreign body was pushed into the bottle liner. The bottle liner containing the foreign body was then extracted with the help of traction threads. The technique was used as the initial retrieval method in 5 dogs because of smooth (i.e., difficult to grasp) or sharp (i.e., that may damage the digestive tract mucosa during removal) foreign bodies and as a rescue procedure in 7 dogs. Foreign body retrieval was successful in all 12 dogs, with minor complications reported in 5 dogs (erosions and bleeding of the gastroesophageal sphincter). The use of a bottle liner represents an affordable alternative to gastrotomy when foreign bodies cannot be grasped with forceps or snares.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes of flexible and rigid bronchoscopies for the management of foreign body aspiration (FBA) in different airway locations, especially in unilateral main bronchus, in children, so as to provide some suggestions to assist clinical decisions. METHODS The medical records of children diagnosed with FBA in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from January 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The following information was collected: demographics, radiological findings, endoscopic findings, foreign body locations, duration of operation, operation cost, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. RESULTS 182 children were included in the study with the median age of 1.3 years (interquatile range, 1.0-1.8). Among whom, 124 cases (68.1 %) were male and 58 cases (31.9 %) were female. 11 cases (6.0 %) had the foreign bodies located in the trachea (larynx to carina), 3 cases (1.6 %) located in the trachea and lower bronchus, 1 case (0.5 %) located in bilateral main bronchus, 135 cases (74.2 %) located in unilateral main bronchus, 4 cases (2.2 %) located in main and lobar bronchus, and 28 cases (15.4 %) located in the lobar or segmental bronchus. Among all the included children, 84 cases (46.2 %) received rigid bronchoscopy (RB) and 98 cases (53.8 %) received flexible bronchoscopy (FB). 131 cases with the foreign bodies located in unilateral main bronchus received one type of bronchoscopy (RB or FB). They were divided into two groups according to the location of foreign body relative to the midpoint of main bronchus, the proximal bronchus group and the distal bronchus group. In the proximal bronchus group, duration of operation using RB and FB was 15 (12.5-27.5) min and 15 (14.5-30.0) min, respectively (Z = 0.000, P = 1.000). The intraoperative and postoperative complication rate using RB and FB was 15.4 % and 9.1 %, respectively (χ2 = 0.008, P = 0.927). Operation cost of FB was significantly higher than that of RB (t = -13.396, P = 0.000). In the distal bronchus group, duration of operation using RB was 20 (13.5-25.0) min, which was drastically shorter than that of FB (25 (20.0-35.0) min) (Z = -2.947, P=0.003). Operation cost of FB was still found to be significantly higher than RB (t = -20.456, P=0.000). No significant difference was found in complication rate of RB (14.3%) compared to FB (8.3%) (χ2=0.251, P=0.616). CONCLUSIONS When foreign bodies are lodged in unilateral main bronchus, RB could be chosen as the first-choice procedure with advantages in duration of operation and operation cost, especially for patients in China. Regardless of duration of operation and operation cost, FB is also a safe and efficient therapeutic procedure to remove inhaled foreign bodies in children, except for those located in the trachea and asphyxiating foreign bodies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foreign body ingestion in adults is commonly encountered in clinical practice. The therapeutic approach of whether to follow-up or extract is often controversial. AIM We aimed to explore predictors for spontaneous passage of ingested foreign bodies by focusing on foreign body type, length, and location of impaction. METHODS We performed a 12-year retrospective single-center study. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify predictors of spontaneous passage. RESULTS Overall, 365 patients with foreign body ingestion were included. The rate of spontaneous passage was 53.7% in general, while the spontaneous passage rate was 47.9% in food impaction, 44.3% in sharp objects, 88.7% in blunt objects and only 22.2% in long blunt objects (> 6 cm). On regression analysis, esophageal location was associated with a higher impaction rate and lower spontaneous passage vs. stomach and small and large intestine (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.07-0.31, OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.09-0.37 and OR 0.02, 95% CI 0.003-0.14), respectively. Performing Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis found that the maximal length above which the foreign body will fail to pass spontaneously was 3.5 cm in the stomach and 3 cm in the small intestine, with area under the curve (AUC) of 0.8509 in stomach and 0.8073 in small intestine. CONCLUSION Endoscopic removal was needed for all esophageal foreign bodies, and all foreign bodies more than 3.5 cm above the duodenum. Spontaneous passage of ingested foreign body in a selected cohort of patients depends on foreign body type, location, and length.

Abstract
Button battery ingestion in pediatric populations is a common occurrence with severe sequelae. Multiple case reports have established the occurrence of death, fistula formation, mucosal erosion, esophageal perforation, and bleeding post-ingestion of button batteries. However, there is a gap in the literature on the occurrence of bilateral vocal cord paralysis post-lithium battery ingestion. We present a case in which a 12-month-old male developed bilateral vocal cord paralysis following ingestion of a button battery. We compare our case to eleven other reports that exist in the literature based on age, sex, time until removal, clinical presentation, day upon which vocal cord paralysis developed, anatomic location, and post-operative course. We conclude that bilateral vocal cord paralysis is a time-sensitive complication which requires prompt diagnosis. Any child with stridor following button battery ingestion should undergo consultation with pediatric otolaryngology immediately. In addition, long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate return of normal vocal cord function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND STUDY Accidental foreign body ingestion (FBI) is a common pediatric referral concern. In contrast, recurrent and intentional FBI (RIFBI) is infrequent and associated with greater endoscopic and surgical intervention in adults. Although pediatric guidelines exist for FBI, the risk and therapeutic implications of RIFBI are not addressed. An anonymous international survey on pediatric gastroenterologist experience with RIFBI was distributed. METHODS A 33-item REDCap© survey was distributed via email to pediatric gastroenterologists identified through mailing and email lists obtained from pediatric gastroenterology professional organizations. RESULTS During 9-12/2021 we accrued 202 completed surveys. Respondents were from 27 countries and across the career span. Eighty percent reported experience with RIFBI; 74% reported seeing ≤ 3 patients with RIFBI within the past 24 months and 4% reported seeing ≥ 6. Of those who treated RIFBI, 38% reported an average number of annual ingestions per patient was ≥5. Frequent morbidity but not mortality was reported. Half reported adherence to FBI guidelines. Later-career endoscopists treated RIFBI more aggressively than accidental ingestion. Ninety-six percent noted that patients with RIFBI had psychiatric comorbidities. Providers at academic medical centers reported referring to behavioral health more than those in other settings. CONCLUSION Most gastroenterologists surveyed reported encountering RFBI several times a year and in patients with psychiatric comorbidities. Greater likelihood of adverse outcomes associated with endoscopy was reported. Most reported referral to behavioral health and few had RIFBI management protocols. A broader spectrum of psychologic comorbidities in the pediatric population with RIFBI, notably depression and autism spectrum disorder, were reported.

Abstract
Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) is the primary method for the detection and visualization of foreign bodies in the pulmonary artery because it provides high sensitivity and accuracy. It is very difficult to diagnose a patient with a non-iatrogenic pulmonary artery foreign body who does not have a history of a penetrating trauma. This case report describes a 36-year-old male that presented with coughing and haemoptysis. Based on conventional coronal and cross-sectional CT, the foreign body was misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary artery thrombosis. During treatment of the bronchial artery embolization and anti-tuberculosis therapy, the patient continued to experience haemoptysis. After further analysis of the pulmonary artery CT angiography images and curved multiplane reconstruction, an approximately 6-cm long toothpick was identified in the pulmonary artery with an unclear entry route. After surgery to remove the toothpick, symptoms of coughing and haemoptysis were resolved. This current case demonstrated that multiplane reconstruction in MSCT can improve the detection and visualization of pulmonary artery foreign bodies, which can aid in the diagnosis of pulmonary artery diseases of unknown cause.

Abstract
A 51-year-old man visited to our hospital because of chest discomfort and hematemesis. He was diagnosed with Mallory-Weiss syndrome and followed in outpatient clinic. One week later, he visited our hospital again for fever and discomfort. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a foreign body perforated in the mediastinum in the upper esophagus, and he was urgently hospitalized for surgical removal of esophageal foreign body. Before surgery he vomited the esophageal foreign body with a lot of blood. Hematemesis was stopped spontaneously and contrast-enhanced CT revealed a pseudoaneurysm in the distal aortic arch, so thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was performed to prevent rupture. Esophageal endoscopy found that the site of esophageal injury healed spontaneously, so the patient was followed conservatively with antibiotics. He was discharged on postoperative day 18 uneventfully. TEVAR was an effective treatment for aortic injury caused by esophageal foreign body in our case.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, there has been a noticeable uptick in incidents involving children ingesting multiple magnetic foreign bodies which can cause injuries and gastrointestinal complications including death. The current study aimed to identify the prevalence, clinical presentation, and management of single or multiple magnet ingestions. A retrospective multi-central cross-sectional study was conducted to include all pediatric patients < 18 years presented to the emergency department with ingestion of single or multiple magnets and admitted across hospitals in Qatar, UAE, KSA, Tunisia, and Turkey between January 2011 and December 2021. Demographics, symptoms, management, and outcomes were analyzed. There were 189 magnet ingestions, of which 88 (46.6%) were multiple magnet ingestions. Most patients (55.6%) were male, and the median age was 3.9 (IQR 2-7) years. An abdominal X-ray was obtained in all cases. 119 (62%) patients were conservatively treated, 53 (28%) required surgical intervention and 17 (8.9%) underwent gastroscopy. None of the patients with single magnet ingestions experienced morbidity or severe outcomes. Multiple magnet ingestions led to significant morbidity including hospitalizations, perforations (44.3%), severe intestinal necrosis (19.3%), peritonitis (13.6%), severe abdominal infection (10.2%), and septic shock (4.5%). The rate of surgical intervention (59.1% vs. 1.0%) and gastroscopy (15.9% vs. 3.0%) was significantly higher in the multiple ingestion group compared to the single magnet ingestion group. No deaths were identified. A high risk of serious complications, including the need for surgery to remove the magnets and substantial morbidity may result from swallowing more than one magnet. Magnet safety requirements, public education, and improved legislation are urgently required.

Abstract
The infratemporal fossa is an uncommon site for lodgement of foreign bodies. Fast-moving projectiles and displaced teeth may get impacted and have been described in the literature. However, foreign body lodgement in the retromaxillary space after transorbital passage is rare. The trajectory of the foreign bodies in such cases is difficult to predict and may not be suspected in the absence of overt clinical features. The authors present a case of a wooden splinter lodged within the infratemporal fossa after the patient sustained a lid injury with an orbital floor fracture. Imaging was equivocal; hence, endoscopic surgical exploration was undertaken, revealing the foreign body. A high index of clinical suspicion and rapid intervention is needed since unsuspected foreign bodies may cause further visual, infective or neurovascular complications. Approaches should be tailored on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-calculus foreign bodies in the bladder are rare and are usually introduced via the urethra. Reports of the migration of metallic foreign bodies from previous surgery are uncommon and mainly associated with surgical screws used for the internal fixation of pubic bone fracture and total hip replacement. This report is of a 56-year-old woman presenting with a surgical screw foreign body in the bladder 19 years after open surgical reduction and internal plate and screw fixation of traumatic fracture of the pubic bone. CASE REPORT A 56-year-old woman visited a urologist because of gross hematuria. She mentioned a mild pelvic pain and multiple lower urinary tract infections over the past 2 years, with no other symptoms. From the previous history, she had undergone an open reduction and internal fixation of the pelvic ring, with surgical plates and screws following pubic bone's fracture, due to an accident 19 years earlier. Cystoscopy identified the presence of a screw head protruding into the bladder wall. The screw was extracted via open surgery, and the patient was discharged 2 days later. CONCLUSIONS While intravesical foreign bodies are rarely seen in Emergency Departments, clinicians should maintain a level of suspicion in certain cases. The purpose of this case report is to present the unlikely and delayed complication of internal pubic bone fixation resulting in the migration of a fixation screw to the bladder. It also highlights the importance of imaging in diagnosis and localization of the foreign body in the bladder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medical treatment, has been gaining popularity over the years. However, it also presents certain risks. We report a case of a patient who discovered a foreign body in their lung several years after undergoing acupuncture. CASE PRESENTATION A middle-aged woman presented to our hospital with chest pain. An X-ray revealed a needle-like foreign body in the middle lobe of her right lung. The patient had previously undergone acupuncture treatment for local pain in her lower back and lower extremities many years prior. Based on the imaging findings and her medical history, we hypothesized that the foreign body in her lung was a result of a dislodged acupuncture needle. Through preoperative 3-dimensional reconstruction and indocyanine green localization, we were able to locate the foreign body in the lateral segment of the right middle lobe. We successfully removed the foreign body via wedge resection, and the patient made a smooth recovery post-surgery. CONCLUSION Acupuncturists and surgeons should remain vigilant about the potential risks associated with acupuncture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Penetrating cardiac injuries are rare but often fatal, with 16-55% mortality. We report a patient who suffered a non-fatal occupational cardiac injury. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old man was operating an ironworker machine. A thin 3-cm metal fragment catapulted from the machine piercing the chest wall and the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), burrowing into the interventricular septum (IVS). The patient remained hemodynamically stable and walked to the nearest hospital. ECG-gated computed tomography revealed the exact location of the fragment within the IVS, allowing for detailed preoperative planning. The fragment was removed through a sternotomy and an incision through the RVOT. The postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSIONS This case underscores the value of detailed preoperative imaging and the wide spectrum of clinical scenarios of penetrating cardiac injuries.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment experience of complex respiratory foreign bodies in children. Methods:The clinical data of 1 243 cases of respiratory foreign bodies in children were retrospectively analyzed, among which 10 cases(0.8%) were complicated respiratory foreign bodies. Results:Among the 10 cases of complex respiratory foreign bodies, 2 cases were removed by open thoracotomy, 1 case was removed by tracheotomy, 1 case was removed by lobectomy, 1 case was removed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy because of difficult airway caused by the accompanying congenital pulmonary artery sling, and the pulmonary artery sling correction was synchronized with the fiberoptic bronchoscopic removal, 3 cases were removed by fiberoptic bronchoscopic holmium laser and/or freezing method to make the foreign body deformed and fragmented and then taken out by the sound gate, and 2 cases were removed because of the In 3 cases, the foreign bodies were deformed and fragmented by fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and in 2 cases, the foreign bodies were removed through the vocal folds because of their special characteristics. Two cases were intubated and sent to ICU after surgery because of obvious vocal edema and difficulty in deoxygenation, two cases were transferred to ICU after cardiac or thoracic surgery, and the rest of them returned to ordinary wards after surgery, and all 10 cases recovered well after surgery. Conclusion:Respiratory foreign body combined with airway stenosis, when the foreign body type, shape, embedded location of special foreign body, foreign body is too large, need to rationally choose the method of foreign body removal. If necessary, a combination of methods can be used to ensure that the airway obstruction is quickly relieved with the best program.

Abstract
Swallowed or aspirated dentures may result in serious systemic complications and require multidisciplinary attention or intervention. With an increasing number of edentulous elderly patients, such situations are not uncommon occurrences in everyday dentistry. In fact, dentures are the most ingested foreign body in the elderly patient population, and this is a particular risk if the dentures are lacking in stability. The present case report discusses the swallowing of an overdenture by a 95-year-old patient, who underwent endoscopic removal of the foreign body. The aim of this article is to highlight the risks of prosthetic restoration in older patients and the importance of thorough, scrupulous follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Foreign body ingestion (FBI) in children requires early identification to prevent adverse outcomes and may necessitate endoscopic or surgical intervention. This study aims to develop a nomogram that identifies children who require urgent surgical or endoscopic intervention by using the patient's medical history and clinical parameters collected at admission. METHODS This study is a retrospective review (01/2015-12/2020) of a multicenter case series of children admitted for FBI. Data from 5864 records from 24 hospitals in Italy were analyzed. Logistic regression models were used to establish the probability of requiring surgical or endoscopic intervention based on patient history and clinical characteristics. The nomogram representing the results from the multivariable model was reported to examine the propensity for surgery/endoscopy. RESULTS The study identified a significant association between intervention and various factors, including type of foreign body (blunt: reference category, disk battery (odds ratio OR:4.89), food bolus (OR:1.88), magnets (OR:2.61), sharp-pointed (OR:1.65), unknown (OR:1.02)), pre-existing diseases or conditions (OR 3.42), drooling (OR 10.91), dysphagia (OR 5.58), vomiting (OR 3.30), retrosternal pain (OR 5.59), abdominal pain (OR 1.58), hematemesis (OR 2.82), food refusal/poor feeding (OR 2.99), and unexplained crying (OR 2.01). The multivariable regression model showed good calibration and discrimination ability, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.77. CONCLUSIONS This study developed the first nomogram to predict the probability of the need for surgical or endoscopic intervention in children with FBI, based on the information collected at admission. The nomogram will aid clinicians in identifying children who require early intervention to prevent adverse outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Penetrating spinal injuries are generally extremely rare and are seldom encountered in pediatric patients. The non-compliance of pediatric patients with physical examination can sometimes delay diagnosis and treatment. Here, we present a case of a child who had a fall and suffered penetrating spinal trauma due to a small glass fragment. CASE REPORT A penetrating foreign body was detected in the lumbar spinal region of a 2-year-old patient with complaints of increased restlessness on physical activity followed by difficulty in walking. The patient was operated on and followed up without any complications in the perioperative and late postoperative periods. CONCLUSION A detailed physical examination is necessitated in the pediatric age group because of insufficient anamnesis. The high number of patients per physician, especially in societies having a low socioeconomic standard, prevents detailed examinations, and unnecessary examinations may cause delays in diagnosis. However, one must note that the skin findings of pediatric patients can be very helpful, especially in pediatric neurosurgery, and examination should not be neglected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ingestion of multiple high-powered neodymium rare-earth magnets poses a significant risk for gastrointestinal (GI) injury such as bowel perforation or ischemia. Given the rising incidence of rare earth magnetic ingestions and the corresponding increase in serious injuries in children, published guidelines recommend urgent endoscopic removal of all magnets within endoscopic reach in cases involving ingestions of two or more magnets. RESEARCH QUESTION Do management patterns for multiple magnet ingestion align with current practice guidelines, and does hospital length of stay (LOS) differ based on the initial emergency department (ED) approach? METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of consecutive patient encounters reported to the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System (NJPIES) between January 2021 and April 2022 involving multiple magnet ingestion. Potential cases were retrieved from the NJPIES TOXICALL® database, using substance codes relating to magnet or foreign body ingestion. Two-sample T tests were used to determine the statistical difference in the hospital LOS between the group of patients receiving early emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) versus those receiving expectant management on initial presentation. RESULTS There was a difference in the average LOS of 2.7 days (p = 0.023) longer in the expectant management group with no medical complications in either group. Twenty-five percent or 2 out of 8 cases deviated from guidelines. CONCLUSION The initial ED decision to pursue expectant management instead of attempting emergent EGD removal of magnets may result in prolonged hospitalization, increased risk for readmission, and delayed definitive removal of magnets due to nonprogression along the GI tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report a patient with extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by the rupture of a middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm from a foreign body that had been left for two decades. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old male patient from Han nationality was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital with impaired consciousness for 1 hour. Cranial computed tomography examination indicated a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage with intraventricular blood accumulation, and a high-density short strip dense shadow was seen in the M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery, considering the possibility of a foreign body. Subsequently, a cerebral angiography was suggested; the foreign body was seen through the right middle cerebral artery, and the aneurysm was seen in the lower wall, so a pseudoaneurysm was considered. The emergent surgical intervention involved the clipping of the pseudoaneurysm and intracranial extraction of the foreign body. Unfortunately,the patient ultimately expired due to severe pulmonary infection. CONCLUSION Intracranial pseudoaneurysm caused by foreign body has been rarely reported previously, and microsurgical treatment of an intracranial pseudoaneurysm caused by a foreign body is a good choice.
