Clinical profile and outcome of foreign body ingestion in a tertiary care center in India: An observational study
Sharp and corrosive FBs should be removed on an emergency basis irrespective of their symptoms, location, and time since ingestion to avoid complications. FBs with a diameter of more than 2 cm and a length of more than 5 cm should be removed endoscopically because of their lower chances of spontaneous passage.
