Results: Out of total 700 patients having operation in department, 115 (16.42%) (95% Confidence Interval = 13.67–19.16) had operation for foreign body obstruction in the food passage. Among 115 patients, 62 (53.90%) were males and 53 (46.10%) were females. Most common foreign bodies ingested in children was coin 17 (14.78%) and bone chips 40 (34.78%) in adults.
