    The study analyzed 1,162 cases of endoscopic foreign body removal from the alimentary tract over a 15-year period.

  • 2

    Endoscopic removal was successful in 98.1% of cases, with 84.7% completed within 24 hours of symptom onset.

  • 3

    The majority of foreign bodies were located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, primarily due to unwitnessed or accidental ingestions.

  • 4

    Moderate-to-severe complications occurred in 0.6% of cases, with no deaths related to foreign body impaction or endoscopic intervention.

  • 5

    Independent risk factors for endoscopic failure included sharp pointed foreign bodies, delayed intervention, and multiple endoscopic attempts.
