Most of theFBs were located in the stomach (72.6%). Themajorityof patients (95.2%) were successfully removed withflexibleendoscopy with the addition of suitable accessorieswithout any serious procedure-related complications.Conclusion: In this part of the world the pattern and types ofUpper gastrointestinal tract foreign bodies is unique not seenelsewhere across the globe.
