    Abstract

    INTRODUCTION- Foreign body ingestion is widespread, particularly in the paediatric age range, but in adults, it is more likely in alcoholics, convicts, and individuals with psychiatric illnesses or mental retardation. Thankfully, the majority of these enter the gastrointestinal system without causing any harm. That being said, just 1% or fewer will require surgery, and 10–20% will require nonoperative treatments.
