“…Of all the 29 ingested cases, 12 got foreign bodies excretion, including 10 with observation before [ 21 , 24 , 27 , 29 , 34 , 35 , 39 , 41 , 49 ] and 2 with immediate endoscopy failed before [ 18 , 37 ], 15 had the objects retrieved by endoscopy (7 immediate [ 11 , 17 , 23 , 25 , 32 , 34 , 42 ], 8 several-day later [ 1 , 4 , 11 , 16 , 29 , 43 , 47 ]), and the other 2 had laparatomy [ 38 ] and colostomy [ 46 ], respectively.…”

Objectives: To review the cases of accidental aspiration and ingestion of foreign objects during dental procedure, and to emphasize the importance of thorough documentation of the accidents. Methods: A comprehensive search on (dental procedure/treatment/practice), (aspiration/inhalation), and (ingestion/ swallow) was performed for all years before 1st October 2014 available. The statistic analysis was made on the variables including journals and reported year, patients' age, gender, general conditions, dental procedure and location for procedure, foreign objects, site of involvement, possible causes, anesthesia during procedure and treatment, symptoms, treatment time and treatment modality, follow-up, and so on. Results: A total of 617 cases reported by 45 articles from 37 kinds of journals were included and analyzed. Most reports made detailed record. While some important variables were recorded incompletely, including patient's general conditions, location for procedure, clinical experience of the involving dentists, tooth position of procedure, possible causes, and anesthesia during procedure and treatment for the accident. Conclusions: Aspiration and ingestion of foreign objects are rare and risky complication during dental procedure. Each accident should have thorough documentation so as to provide enough information for the treatment and prevention.

“…Because of the metallic composition, plain graphy is the first option to image root canal file falling into the pharynx. Postero-anterior and lateral graphies are also useful (9). Root canal file made of Ni-Ti alloy was seen on direct graphy in the presented case.…”

Root canal treatment is one of the most frequently performed operations in dentistry. Some complications regarding the instruments used during operation include breakage of root canal file, inhalation, or ingestion. There are some reports in the literature on ingestion of dental instruments, and these could be life threatening because of the possibility of airway obstruction or tubular organ perforation. In this paper, an interesting case of root canal file stick into the epiglottis and its management are presented.

“…The clinical course and symptomatology vary according to the size, position, extension, and histology of the lesion; and symptoms are mainly related to compression of the trachea, esophagus, or vascular structures (8,9). Patients without symptoms were also reported as 16%-50% in the literature (10).…”

Objective: Retrosternal thyroid is the presence of thyroid tissue in the mediastinum either by enlarging of the cervical or by an ectopic mediastinal thyroid. Surgery for a retrosternal thyroid has technical differences than conventional cervical thyroid surgery and has a higher risk of complications. This paper aims to analyze the cases with retrosternal thyroid and to evaluate the outcomes of the surgery. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis in terms of age, sex, clinical course, thyroid hormone levels, parathormone (PTH) levels, diagnostic methods, and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) results and complications of 36 cases that underwent surgery was performed. Results: In addition to routine evaluation for thyroid pathology, computerized tomography was used for each patient. Thirty-four surgeries were completed with a cervical incision, one with a sternotomy and one with a thoracotomy. Four patients (11.1%) experienced temporary postoperative hypocalcemia, and one patient had a transient vocal cord immobility. Neither permanent hypocalcemia nor vocal cord paralysis was present in any of the patients postoperatively. Conclusion: Planning surgery as early as possible is suggested to avoid compression symptoms and possible malignancy. Cervical approach is mostly enough for the majority of patients; however, in case of a need of an additional (transthoracic) approach, multidisciplinary planning with thoracic surgeons is proposed. The risk of complications in experienced centers is parallel to cervical thyroidectomy.
