Esophageal and gastric foreign bodies commonly occur in small animal practices. Medical records of cats and dogs undergoing endoscopic removal of esophageal and gastric foreign bodies have been reviewed to evaluate the factors that can influence the success rate and timing of the procedure. Ninety-two animals were included in the study. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies was successful in 88% of cases, and the mean time spent for the extraction was 59.74 min (range, 10–120 min). The success rate and timing of endoscopic foreign body removal can be influenced by several factors including the size and age of the animals, the localization of foreign bodies, the device used, and the operator’s experience.

Abstract
Esophageal and gastric foreign bodies commonly occur in small animal practices. Medical records of cats and dogs undergoing endoscopic removal of esophageal and gastric foreign bodies have been reviewed to evaluate the factors that can influence the success rate and timing of the procedure. Ninety-two animals were included in the study. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies was successful in 88% of cases, and the mean time spent for the extraction was 59.74 min (range, 10–120 min). The success rate and timing of endoscopic foreign body removal can be influenced by several factors including the size and age of the animals, the localization of foreign bodies, the device used, and the operator’s experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
