Surgical management of gastrointestinal perforation by ingested chicken bone: A case report

Abstract

Gastrointestinal perforation is a common surgical emergency, but accidental and unnoticed foreign body ingestion is not very uncommon. Most of ingested foreign bodies pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract. Perforation of the gastrointestinal occurs in less than 1% of ingestion of a foreign body [1]. Case of the gastrointestinal perforation caused by eating is rare. It is very difficult for diagnosis sometimes. Here we report a rare case of gastrointestinal perforation caused by eating.
