Successful endoscopic removal of sewing needle and flat metal: a case report.

Emergency gastroenterology evaluations related to complaints of foreign body ingestion are relatively common. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be excreted in the feces. But sharp foreign bodies may be difficult to pass naturally without intervention and can cause devastating, risky complications without urgent management. Complications include impaction, fistula formation, perforation, mediastinitis, and sepsis. Here we present a difficult case of esophageal and duodenal foreign bodies effectively removed endoscopically supported with a multi-disciplinary approach.
