Deskripsi
Key Clinical Message Foreign bodies such as bone with a sharp end can penetrate the esophageal wall and lie extramurally. When a foreign body is not found on rigid oesophagoscopy, reassessing with imaging is important. The transcervical approach is a better alternative for such patients to remove the foreign bodies.
