These objects may include food particles, coins, buttons, or sharp items like bones, which can cause discomfort, obstruction, or serious complications if not removed promptly.

Foreign body removal is required when objects become stuck in the GI tract, particularly in areas such as:

Chest or throat discomfort.
Abdominal pain or bloating.
Vomiting or nausea.
