Swift diagnosis and an expert endoscopic management are paramount for a good outcome. In this study, we reviewed the endoscopic management of 60 cases of FB in the upper GI tract and outlined the recommendations for such an emergency in a rural setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective study on 60 consecutive patients with FB ingestion who underwent endoscopic removal of FB over 12 months. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of various endoscopic tools and techniques for retrieving different foreign objects, along with their associated success rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Amongst the 60 patients, 38 were male and the remaining 22 were female. The mean age of the patients was 36.4 years. Most cases presented with ingestion of blunt objects (36.7%), followed by food bolus (30%), sharps (18.3%) and finally long objects (15%). Most FBs were seen lodged in the lower oesophagus.

Button battery, denture with sharp wire and impacted fish or chicken bones are problem cases and need immediate attention by experts. If the FB is already in the stomach and beyond, one may choose to observe for spontaneous expulsion in the next 2\u20135 days. In adults, removal can be accomplished under xylocaine spray or conscious sedation, but in children, it invariably requires the presence of an anaesthetist and general anaesthesia, as airway control is vital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Endoscopic removal of FB from the upper GI tract is safe and effective, provided the right tools, team and technical expertise are available.
