66 patients (45 males and 21 females) who have swallowed 157 foreign bodies (fragments of wire, nails, needles, hafts of spoons, et were treated). If the objects were located in the stomach and the duodenum in the absence of complications endoscopic method of treatment was preferable, with the help of which 31 objects were successfully removed and the terms of treatment were significantly decreased. Conservative treatment (diet rich in fiber and protective substances, barium sulfate administration) resulted in elimination of 58 objects by vias naturals, 53 from which were not more that 8 cm long. Evacuation of the foreign bodies was carried out only during the first 3 weeks after the swallowing. Operative treatment was carried out in 21 patients, in whom 68 foreign bodies were extracted. An urgent operation in the first 6 hours in complications due to foreign bodies (perforation, incarceration, gastrointestinal bleeding) was carried out in 13 patients. An urgent operation in terms from 6 to 24 hours of hospitalization was carried out in 6 patients with large (more that 8 cm) swallowed objects, conglomerates and bunches of foreign bodies. Early removal of these objects prevented development of complications. Elective operation was carried out in failure of conservative treatment as was in 2 patients. No lethality was registered.
