Abstract

<p>Of the 338 patients who visited our department due to a suspected foreign body, a foreign body was actually identified in 201 cases (59.4%). Foreign bodies commonly occur in children and the elderly. The proportion of foreign body parts and types was closely similar to those observed at other facilities. It is necessary to inform patients about foreign objects that are prone to inducing complications, such as partial dentures. To minimize the secondary damage caused by removing foreign bodies, it is best to refer such patients to a general hospital, where imaging tests and hospitalization are possible if it proves difficult to observe the entire foreign body at the initial visit.</p>
