“…This was following a critical assessment of multiple factors to determine the need and appropriate timing for a commitment to laparotomy, which included the patient's age and presenting complaints as well as the foreign body's initial location, type, propelling rate, shape, size, alignment, and duration of ingestion. After all, it has been suggested that treatment of gastrointestinal foreign bodies must rather be personalized [ 19 ].…”

“…Endoscopic treatment can be challenging because the estimated risk of complications is as high as 35%, especially if the FB is not removed at the right time [ 13 ]. The success rate of endoscopic FB removal is 95%, while adverse events are rare and include mucosal laceration, bleeding, infection, perforation, or aspiration [ 9 , 14 ]. According to the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, emergency upper endoscopy is recommended within 6 h in cases of esophageal obstruction or sharp objects in the esophagus and within 24 h in cases of other FBs.…”

Foreign body ingestion is a frequently encountered emergency in healthcare institutions. It mostly affects pediatric populations, although it can also affect adults with developmental delays, those with psychiatric diseases, drug abusers, and prisoners. Endoscopy is a diagnostic and treatment method for suspected foreign body ingestion. In this article, we discuss a 45-year-old tailor who swallowed a sewing pin while at work. The abdominal X-ray showed a needle-shaped metal shadow in the stomach region. During an upper endoscopy, it was discovered that a sewing pin with a sharp edge was stuck in the pylorus. The sewing pin was extracted endoscopically, and the patient was discharged the same day in good condition. Since the estimated risk of complications of foreign body ingestion in the adult population is about 35%, and the most common complications include impaction, laceration, bleeding, or perforation of the gastrointestinal wall, endoscopic or surgical removal is necessary. This also emphasizes the importance of a careful endoscopic evaluation of some at-risk occupations for foreign body ingestion with or without gastrointestinal complaints.
