Male sex (70.1%), substance use (9.4%), and edentulousness (6.1%) were risk factors. Common symptoms included abdominal pain (83.7%) and fever (36.7%). Imaging identified the object in 48.1% of cases, with computed tomography being the most sensitive (54.7%). Objects were commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract (79.3%). They were consistently found in the gastrointestinal tract when patients were aware of ingestion or imaging showed an intraluminal\/transluminal location. Endoscopy visualized the objects 76.1% of the time, with successful removal in 88.8% of cases; 4.7% of patients required surgery following endoscopic removal. Adverse events included perforation (87.5%) and abscess (33.0%), with a mortality rate of 5.0%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ingestion of sharp wooden objects presents heterogeneously and can lead to serious complications.
