Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common occurrence. Majority

Occasionally large and sharp foreign bodies may get stuck and
give rise to complications. Removal of large sharp foreign bodies
is recommended due to their potential of danger. Foreign bodies
can be removed by endoscopy or by laparotomy. We present the
two cases of laparoscopic removal of large sharp foreign bodies
from the stomach. Laparoscopic removal of large sharp foreign
bodies from the stomach is safe.
