Loose Screws: Removal of Foreign Bodies From the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract.
Curēus 2023 August
While both the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) have released guidelines on the management of ingested foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, neither has addressed indications or techniques for endoscopic removal of foreign bodies in the lower GI tract, perhaps due to the high likelihood of foreign body passage once the foreign body has reached the lower GI tract. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman presenting to the emergency department following the intentional ingestion of multiple screws and nails, complaining of acute abdominal pain and nausea. Imaging revealed four nails in the colon and two adjacent screws in the distal small bowel. In the absence of signs of acute obstruction or bowel perforation, she was admitted for expectant management but subsequently required endoscopic removal of two retained screws in the lower GI tract.
