Sixty children had 65 pieces of foreign bodies, of which 16 pieces were impacted in the esophagus, 41 in the stomach and 8 in the duodenum. Sixty pieces of foreign bodies were successfully removed from 56 children without any complications. But 5 pieces of foreign bodies in 4 children failed to be taken out because the foreign bodies lodged in the second part of the duodenum. The successful rate was 93.3% in respect to the number of children, and 92.3% in respect to the pieces of foreign bodies. Among all the foreign bodies taken out, the longest one was 150 mm in length and 34 mm in width. Endoscopy was performed under general anaesthesia for most of the children with foreign bodies. The endoscope for adults has been used safely in these children.展开更多
