| Abstract: | Gastro-intestinal foreign bodies are a by no means rare event in surgery and in the USA mortality is about 1500 people per annum. The surgical treatment of foreign bodies in the alimentary tract is reported here. Certain cases of voluntary ingestion in mental patients are reported, comparing personal experience with the data reported in the literature. |
