Foreign Body Removal

Foreign body removal is the process of removing an object or substance that has become lodged in the body where it does not belong. This can occur in various parts of the body, including the eyes, ears, nose, throat, respiratory tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract. The approach taken to removing a foreign body depends on several factors, including the location of the foreign body, its size, shape and composition, and the potential risks associated with its removal. In some cases, foreign bodies can be safely removed at home or in a healthcare facility using simple techniques. However, in other cases, particularly if the foreign body is large, sharp, or difficult to access, medical intervention by a healthcare professional may be necessary.
