Core Tip	Foreign body ingestion is a common yet potentially life-threatening emergency, especially in young children and elderly. While most cases resolve spontaneously, some require urgent endoscopic intervention to prevent severe complications like perforation, obstruction, and chemical burns. Advanced endoscopic instruments may be tiny, but they are remarkably smart-capable of maneuvering and extracting foreign objects with precision. Specialized retrieval devices such as forceps, snares, baskets, overtubes, and retrieval nets play a crucial role in safely dislodging and removing impacted items. With evolving technology, endoscopy continues to revolutionize foreign body management, ensuring faster, safer, and more effective patient outcomes.
