Relationship between foreign body ingestion and culture

Amaç: Kliniğimizde yabancı cisim yutulmasına bağlı olarak tedavi edilen hastaların sonuçlarını bildirmek. Materyal ve metod: Ocak 1985 - Aralık 2003 yılları arasında yabancı cisim yutulmasına bağlı tedavi edilen 73 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Hataların %59'u erkek olarak bulunurken en sık yutulan yabancı cisimler sırasıyla demir para ve çengelli iğne olarak bulundu. Hastaların %41'inin yaşı 1.5 ay ile 2 yaş arasında toplanmaktaydı. Yabacı cisim çıkarılması için tüm hastalara rijid özefagoskopi yapılırken sadece çengelli iğne yutan iki hastada laparatomi gerekti. Sonuç: Kültürel fark gözetmeksizin en sık yutulan yabancı cisim demir paradır. Diğer sıklıkta yutulan yabancı cisimler ise kültürel farklılıklar göstermektedir.

Kültür ve yabancı cisim yutulması arasındaki ilişki

Aim: Evaluation of the results of our experiences with foreign body (FB) v ingestion in this country.Patients and methods: The medical records'of 73 patients treated for" FB ingestion between January 1985 and December 2003 were evaluated retrospectively.Results: Fifty-nine percent of the patients were boys, and the majority of them had ingested coins and safety pins. The age of 41% of the patients ranged from 1.5 months to 2 years. Rigid esophagoscopy was performed to remove the FBs. Laparotomy was required in 2 patients with safety pin ingestion. Conclusion: Coins were the most commonly ingested FBs. In addition to surgical and medical aspects, cultural differences should also beconsidered in FB ingestion as the type of ingested object varies in different populations.
