| Core Tip |
The study described 166 cases of children with esophageal foreign body (FB) impaction, analyzed factors associated with complications, and evaluated the efficacy of rigid (RE) and flexible endoscopy (FE). Coins are the most common FB and are primarily lodged in the upper esophagus of preschool-aged children. Risk factors for complications include battery ingestion, delayed removal (> 48 hours), and lodging in the thoracic esophagus. Overall, FE is more effective than RE for FB removal, and both procedures are safe. |
