Abstract
Most ingested foreign bodies are passed along the gastrointestinal tract without complications. Only 1% result in complications, with sharp objects, such as fish bones, being the most frequently involved. One of the potential complications is mucosal perforation, which can reach solid organs such as the liver or pancreas in up to 1% of cases. CT is considered the most effective imaging test for detection and to rule out the presence of complications. Early management is a determining factor in prognosis, with laparoscopic and laparotomy removal being considered, although in recent years endoscopic removal has been gaining in importance.
