Since the rigid endoscopy provides a wide-open space, it is regarded as a great advantage to remove sharp and keen foreign bodies from the esophagus.

Foreign body ingestion is remarkable in adults although the incidence of this issue is more common in children. The complication level of foreign body ingestion depends on the site and type of foreign body.

The reported case in this study was a man with a sharp steel wire in his throat.
