The data were analyzed based on age, clinical presentation, bronchoscopic observations, and the challenges faced during the rigid bronchoscopic retrieval and postoperative course.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n There were four boys and one girl with a median age of 10 years. High-resolution computed tomography thorax was done in all patients. The foreign body was identified in the right main bronchus in one and the left main bronchus in four patients. All five patients underwent rigid bronchoscopy and retrieval of the seed. Two patients had an early presentation (within a week) - they needed temporary tracheotomy as the swollen seed could not be negotiated through the narrow glottis. Two patients had a late presentation (around 15 days) - they required removal in piecemeal using crushing forceps and multiple insertions of bronchoscope prolonging surgical time. One patient presented at 22 days posttamarind aspiration. It was soft enough for easy disintegration with crocodile forceps and expeditiously removed in three to four pieces. All patients recovered uneventfully.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Removal of tamarind seed foreign body from the tracheobronchial tree is challenging. Anticipating the difficulties and being prepared well, helps to reduce the intraoperative difficulty, and allow successful removal with favorable patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jiaps.jiaps_220_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,8]],"date-time":"2024-05-08T15:00:37Z","timestamp":1715180437000},"page":"277-280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tamarind Seeds in Tracheobronchial Tree: Challenges during Rigid Bronchoscopy"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Nitinkumar","family":"Borkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charu","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Ashwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalla","family":"Revanth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ripu Daman","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ranganath Thippanahalli","family":"Ganga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine, AIIMS, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240905","first-page":"e22163","article-title":"Clinico-radiological profile and outcome of airway foreign body aspiration in children:A single-center experience from a tertiary care center in Eastern India","volume":"14","author":"Sai Akhil","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"R2-20240905","first-page":"27","article-title":"Foreign body inhalation in children:An update","volume":"30","author":"Pass\u00e0li","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital"},{"key":"R3-20240905","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2333794X17743663","DOI":"10.1177\/2333794X17743663","article-title":"Tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children:The role of emergency rigid bronchoscopy","volume":"4","author":"Baram","year":"2017","journal-title":"Glob Pediatr Health"},{"key":"R4-20240905","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"630","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5049.123349","article-title":"Impacted foreign body bronchus:Role of percussion in removal","volume":"57","author":"Goyal","year":"2013","journal-title":"Indian J Anaesth"},{"key":"R5-20240905","first-page":"1357","article-title":"Tracheobronchial foreign bodies:Presentation and management in children and adults","volume":"115","author":"Baharloo","year":"1999","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R6-20240905","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-7847.79102","article-title":"Tamarindus indica:Extent of explored potential","volume":"5","author":"Bhadoriya","year":"2011","journal-title":"Pharmacogn Rev"},{"key":"R7-20240905","first-page":"94","article-title":"Foreign body aspiration in children","volume":"7","author":"Sivakumar","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Contemp Pediatr"},{"key":"R8-20240905","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180","DOI":"10.1007\/s12070-011-0416-2","article-title":"Tracheo-bronchial foreign body aspiration in children:A one year descriptive study","volume":"66","author":"Naragund","year":"2014","journal-title":"Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"R9-20240905","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"885","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1988.01400310099017","article-title":"Bronchoscopy for aspirated foreign bodies in children.
