Key Points

Non-operative management was effective for most benign cases of foreign body ingestion in children.
Approximately 85% of pediatric foreign body ingestion cases are managed without surgery.
Clinical decisions are often influenced by the nature and location of the ingested object.
This analysis of outcomes supports non-invasive approaches for young children with foreign body ingestion.

Implication

Observational analysis highlights outcomes of non-operative management in pediatric emergencies, suggesting effectiveness for benign cases.

Abstract

Foreign Body (FB) ingestion is a common paediatric emergency, especially in children under three years. While most cases are benign and managed conservatively, the objects nature and location often guide clinical decisions.
