The diagnosis was made intra-operatively in 13 (81.3%) of the cases. The commonest anatomical position of the perforation was the large bowel, in 7 (43%) of the cases. Bony food parts were the commonest foreign bodies accidentally swallowed, in 9 (56%) patients. The median hospital stay was 7 days (2\u201318), while no death occurred in the postoperative period among the patients of the study. The postoperative morbidity rate was 22.2%. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; The most common complication after foreign body ingestion was the perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. The risk of perforation was higher when sharp foreign bodies were ingested. The pre-operative diagnosis was difficult, and it was usually achieved intra-operatively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000129605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,5]],"date-time":"2008-06-05T07:36:29Z","timestamp":1212651389000},"page":"276-279","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Surgical Intervention for Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies in Adults: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Theodoros","family":"Syrakos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanouil","family":"Zacharakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Polichronis","family":"Antonitsis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evangelos","family":"Zacharakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Constantinos","family":"Spanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Georgantis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Kiskinis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0016-5107%2895%2970274-1"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-3468%2899%2990106-9"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbjs.1800650103"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0016-5107%2883%2972586-1"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2001-16212"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0016-5107%2895%2970273-3"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs005950170224"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0002-9610%2841%2990652-9"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-0028-1098187"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00000658-192704000-00010"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0022-3468%2893%2990691-D"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0733-8627%2805%2970264-9"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0002-9610%2881%2990342-1"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs001170050537"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/129605","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/129605","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:30:01Z","timestamp":1745458201000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000129605"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000129605","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1011-7571","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
