Foreign body removal refers to the medical procedure or intervention to extract objects or substances that have entered the body and are not supposed to be there. Foreign bodies can enter the body through various means, such as ingestion, inhalation, or injury, and they can become lodged in different areas, including the ears, nose, throat, airways, eyes, skin, or other body cavities. The approach to foreign body removal varies depending on the location of the foreign object and the specific circumstances.
It is essential to seek medical attention when a foreign body is lodged in a critical area or if the removal is not straightforward.
