The ingestion of foreign bodies is a common medical emergency seen in both adults and children. In children, the most commonly ingested foreign bodies include coins, toys, magnets, and batteries. In adults, food bolus impaction represents the most common cause of foreign body ingestion. The majority of foreign bodies pass spontaneously. Sharp or pointed objects increase the risk of perforation. Emergent endoscopic intervention is indicated in cases of esophageal obstruction, ingestion of disk batteries, and sharp pointed objects in the esophagus. Flexible endoscopy is the therapeutic method of choice for removing foreign bodies. It is preferred due to its high success rate and low risk for complications. Additionally, the use of an overtube provides gastric and esophageal protection from mucosal laceration. We present a 27-year-old male who ingested six razor blades and a curtain hook and review endoscopic management.
异物摄入是成人和儿童中常见的医疗急症。在儿童中，最常摄入的异物包括硬币、玩具、磁铁和电池。在成人中，食物团块嵌塞是异物摄入的最常见原因。大多数异物会自行排出。尖锐或带尖物体增加穿孔风险。食管梗阻、摄入纽扣电池以及食管内尖锐带尖物体的情况需要紧急内镜干预。可弯曲内镜是取出异物的首选治疗方法。因其成功率高且并发症风险低而更受青睐。此外，使用外套管可保护胃和食管免受黏膜撕裂伤。我们报告一名27岁男性摄入六片剃须刀片和一个窗帘钩的病例，并回顾内镜处理情况。
